problems with search

Post by Logan9773 »

Hey guys,

I've been trying to search for keywords in the descriptions of the shows but I get "not found" for every search. From what I've been reading in help, it seems you can only search for title, group, and company. Is there any way too search for keywords in the descriptions. I tried to use google with the site: function, but it came up with nothing. Any suggestions?

Love your site, just needs a better search. :wink:

This is something of a known issue, see this somewhat related request for instance. Basically doing a *good* full text search is *hard* (as you'll have noticed if you tried the search on this forum to find that post). In my mind the only practical way of adding one would be to let the commercial search engines in (at the moment we don't, hence your site search via google failing) - but anidb would not exactly search engine friendly, there are too many rabbit holes for them to fall down.
