The current filters on MAL advanced search include Type, Score, Status, Producer, Rated, Start Date, and End Date. After applying these filters, you can also sort results by using them plus episodes and total members. Why aren't these two sorting options integrated with the other filters?

@traed yes I know but you can't filter results by number of episodes and total members. Like for example I want to find all anime with 7 score with less than 12 episodes and more than 300k members. In this example you can only search for anime with 7 score and after sort by episode count or total members

You shouldnt take so much stake in MAL scores. Just because something is below a certain score wont mean you wont like it. But yeah it has been suggested before to have a slider for series length and episode length etc.

@traed I only provided a score for the example since score is already included in the filters. I'm not particularly concerned about the score. My initial suggestion is to include "Total members" and "Number of episodes" as filtering options.

Do devs read suggestions? And is there a third party app that does this filtering by number of episodes and members number

The IMDb advanced search feature could serve as inspiration for enhancing the search functionality. https://www.imdb.com/search/title/

That's... a good question.

Of what is often quickly mentioned during announcements, they do read some of the suggestions, but honestly, they usually just not care. The Suggestion and Support boards are basically abandonned, and usually, only answered by random users.

I really wouldn't expect MAL to implement that, even if it could be useful.
