Search: Difference between revisions

The search field is normally located in the top right-hand corner of most AniDB pages and it can be used to search for animes (default), groups, users and companies depending on which page you are currently viewing. I.e. if you're viewing the grouplist or a group-page, the search field will search for groups added to the DB, and vice versa for the other lists/pages.

Some quirks/features to note are that if you enter an underscore (_), it will search for any single character in the place of the "_", and if you enter a percent sign (%), it will match any substring. This means that searching for [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=animelist&adb.search=100%25&do.search=search "100%"], while you would expect it to give only results similar to [http://anidb.info/a3067 Ichigo 100%] and [http://anidb.info/a4141 Ichigo 100% Original DVD Animation], it gives a few other results besides these. To get the intended result, you could search for [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=animelist&adb.search=100%5C%5C%25&do.search=search "100\\%"].

There is also an [[Adv._Search|advanced search interface]] in which you can enter many other search parameters located [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=search here]
