Single anime search option.

Post by Joykiller » Sat Jul 03, 2004 8:54 pm

A while back I remember the super search having an option that would allow you to find AMV's that were created using JUST the anime you specify. (i.e. non multi-anime AMV's)

Is it possible that may be added back some day?

There has never been that option, AFAIK

I remember that option, too. It's been gone for quite a while, but IIRC, there was a checkbox marked "only" next to the anime pulldown menu on the "Search by Anime" page. It would cull the results of the search to videos that only contained the single anime you specified.

It was useful, but a pain when you wanted to search for videos using only a single series, but with multiple database entries (Sailor Moon, Eva, Rayearth, etc.).

Yes! That is exactly the option that I am referring to.

I think it would be nice to have that option back, too. If I search for "Rayearth" with the checkbox "only that title", I would like the results to exclude any AMV with anime titles that don't include the string "Rayearth".

On a related line of thought, it would be nice to have a checkbox "exclude spoilers" right below the checkbox "only that title"

If the code's still there, I'll add it back...
