Has searching for multiple anime *always* not worked?

Post by Scintilla » Thu Jun 21, 2007 10:15 pm

If I search for "flcl evangelion" in the Anime field of the Super Search, I expect to get at least Ashyukun's <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... >"Bouncing Through the Years"</a> (which, by the way, you all need to see RIGHT NOW if you haven't already) and my own "Dueling Videos: Under Ice".

Instead, I get nothing. <s>I lose. Good day sir.</s>

It looks like the search is searching for anime titles using all terms, and then returning whichever AMVs use those anime, rather than searching for all videos that include both terms somewhere in the list of used anime. (For instance, "aim for" returns all videos using Gunbuster and Diebuster, but "aim flcl" returns nothing -- and again, I would expect to get Ashyukun's video at least).

So is this a bug or intentional?

I always just assumed the .org's search function naturally sucked.

Yeah I can't seem to find a way to search with multiple anime. The super search is not so super :roll:.
Insert clever text/image here.

A search for Monster (TV) turns up monster rancher and yugioh the monster sized mistake. And a few monster amvs. And when you click on the anime in the video profile, it fails in both IE and Firefox 2.

I think I used to be able to search multiple anime by separating with commas, but I haven't tried in a while.
