| We are happy to announce the release of one of our often requested features: the all-inclusive search. When using the top-right quick search bar:
News, Forum, and Featured will be added to the top-right category drop-down soon. Users have been omitted from "All" results due to the low frequency of searches and irrelevance to the other links on the page. Please let us know if you find any bugs still twitching or issues with usability. As always, we may find some things need to be tweaked with repetitive use. -- Using the magnifying glass will not work for the moment. It is being fixed as you read this. |
| Works a lot better. Now there's no need to switch every time again when you want to search in a different category. Good update! |
  |
| I'm super happy with this update! Sometimes it was a pain to keep selecting the drop down or having to do a lot of clicking to find a manga or a person in the DB. |

| What a good update. |
 * It's just you. |
| i like what i see when i click the "view all results for x" very good update |
| Nice update. Definitely makes it easier to use the search function. |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| Nice update, makes searching easier |
 |
| Gj MAL. |
| For some reason I'm always getting "An error occurred. Please try again." when I type something into the search bar now. Good update though. |
 |
| Real nifty. |
 |
| Hmm well so long as we don't start getting forum threads or featured articles in the drop down I don't see any problems, especially as it separates the anime and manga entries out from one another. At first I thought I probably wouldn't use it but now I think I might after all. Odd that the predictive results are ordered differently for the "all" option than from the "anime" or "manga" options, though. For instance from typing in "twintai" with search on All puts the OreTwi novel on the top spot of the manga list and Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita on the 3rd spot of the anime list. Entering the same thing in an anime search doesn't show Jintai anywhere, and searching for manga puts Juu to Usagi to Twintail on top... |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Awesome update. n_n Tanaka-kun would approve. |
kuuderes_shadow said: The search parameters/weighting are a bit different for each searching method. With "All", the algorithm needs to also decide which type of entry you're more likely to be searching for, which means you need to weight things a bit differently. For example, manga matches typically have much lower member counts than anime matches, so the weighting needs to be a bit different on the "All" for both anime and manga to appear. Which is what I believe is happening with: Odd that the predictive results are ordered differently for the "all" option than from the "anime" or "manga" options, though. [...] with search on All puts the OreTwi novel on the top spot of the manga list [...] and searching for manga puts Juu to Usagi to Twintail on top. Twintail is a closer title match than Twintails, whereas OreTwi has a much higher member count. |

| This really is an awesome update. It (strangely) used to be a bother to switch the search type when I was not searching an anime. |
 |
| Nice update. Now I don't have to be frustrated when facing a blank page because of searching a seiyuu in 'anime'. |
| One more nice update has come! Thanks dev team! |
 |
| The search bar now become more handy and useful, easy to use. Don't have to change the search type every time I need to use it now. And moreover, I like how all the possible searching results is displayed on the page when we press enter. |

| Gg wp nice update |
| Finally an utility update! I would really prefer the site to focus more on these instead of appearances and layout. This makes the job of finding all related to my favourite anime a lot easier. I would be glad if some next updates increase the functionality of the forums :) |

| thank you so much, this one is so helpful! I always forgot to select what type i needed to search so i had to redo it again and again. This is great update! |
| Finally! This is a good and usefull update. Great job |
 |
| So long as you don't remove the search by individual categories I'm fine with it |
 |
| Nice, seems like this new addition is quite useful. |
 |
| ugh finally! |
| Now this is a good update, for once. |
| :3 |
| Cool update. Now on an almost completely unrelated note, can we get gifv, gyfcat, and webm support? |
 |
| Such a nice update! It was a pain to select what type I wanted to search. Especially when searching something other than an anime. Thank you for finally giving a useful update. |
 set by secret santa ; thank you! ily ♥️ |
| Love the update, certainly makes searching a whole lot smoother :3 |
| Sasuga MAL! Now when will I actually use it? |
 |
| Ooo very nice - especially since most of my searching is manga rather than anime. |
 |
| That was a very good addition. |
 |
| Good job. |
