hmm, i guess that field is messed up for just me then...
when i enter in a random string like "huatoenhtaoes" i get the same 950 results that i get when i enter a string like "otakon" or "contest" or "9"

Well, it doesn't always work for me either - it depends more on the word you're looking for. Do a test run and use super search for this:
Anime: Saiyuki
Comments: shonen
Result: 1

or this

Anime: Sanctuary (from angel sanctuary)
Comments: fall into
Results: 8

It may only take parts of words if it can't find the one you put in the comments box, and it doesn't work very well with anime that have a lot of listings. So yeah, it doesn't always work, but that's the purpose of the comment section.

the problem is when i search for saiyuki/shonen i get the same result i get when i search for saiyuki/9 or saiyuki/htneaoushtnaoes

although entering a string in the comments narrows down the results, it does not depend what string you enter- they all show the same results

Ok - thx for your help Arigatomyna. Now it makes sense, but still I think, that this option is not very useful. More important would be serch results "order by: number of opinions"

That's odd. When I change the word on the Saiyuki search I get different results. Are you a donator? I don't think that should matter, but it's made some effects in the 'search according to download' so you never know (and the results of those two searches were mostly local vids). Either way, it's not fullproof for me. I think there's a bug in the system somewhere.

And Turunks? - last I heard Phade is working on a way to filter the top 10% list according to anime. That should make it easier to find high ranking vids for the anime you like.

But there's one funny thing. No matter what you write in Comments, and you search for all dragonball vids, you got ALWAYS the same 86 vids in results
