Search Functionality Broken?

666

Is it just me or does the search function on this website often not work? Numerous times, I've tried to search an anime using its title and I've gotten 0 results.

One example that just happened is with the anime "The Duke of Death and His Maid". This show has 3 seasons and a manga, but none of them show up in search.

Additionally, I tried the romanji "shinigami bocchan to kuro maid" but that has no results either
I also tried different parts of the title such as simply "Duke of Death"

Another example is To Be Hero

I'm curious what search/indexing library you're using because sometimes it's pretty good at accommodating my mistakes, but more often it's broken like I just explained.

Right now, search seems to be broken as of a few hours ago at least. I believe this is being worked on.

Another example is Chicken Papa, which the main reason I replied here was to mention this masterpiece. Sorry.

Yes. The mods have been made aware of the issue.

Sit tight. We're all in the same boat here.

seems like searching for forum threads is also not working

  Seems irrelevant however it's not working on anilist based apps for tracking as well

  Their back-end API is the one causing the issue not the website itself so anything relying on their API will have the same problem unfortunately

  Make sense

I was having same problem, which is why I am here. I was looking for Bokutachi no Remake earlier but didn't realize somthing was wrong until a few minutes ago when I tried searching for Ayakashi Triangle. Both I had to manually search through my anime list to find.

  Or go to google and type site:https://anilist.co/anime followed by the name of the anime! Any mod know when this is going to be fixed?

I literally thought they got rid of a bunch of manga I was planning to read because of this I was so confusedddd

If anyone wants a temporary workaround, if the anime (manga) you are searching for is on your anime List (manga List) you can use CTRL f to search your list. I really hope this is fixed soon!
