Increase number of search results

Open Han-fel opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Currently when you use the search bar and click enter, you only get a limited number of results.

Would it be possible to allow an option to increase the number of results which can appear there (preferably to all results showing), or perhaps a show more or next page option?

If I search for a big franchise like gundam, I would ideally like to be able to see everything, then add the ones I'm interested in to my list, but currently the results make this impossible (see image).

My only option as it is, is to manually find the pages one by one on the browser version of mal/kitsu, then search for each shows exact title, which can be very time consuming.

There's an API response limit. Though maybe if pagination exists it can shows the results for 2 or 3 responses.

I see. I guess I'll have to do it the hard way for the exceptions then.

~~Another solution which is probably not viable but I'll mention it just in case, is if taiga servers(?) or somewhere stored a full catalogue of kitsu/mal/anilist entries updated once every 2-3 months, then in search there could be an option to switch to searching that instead in the cases where it is a bigger franchise and more results shown are preferred.~~

Actually, I like this better. What about adding an all-seasons option in the seasons section, where you could "refresh data", then it would retrieve data all seasons one by one, then the user would have all anime entries locally, and could use the section there to search. (since search in that section currently works well, just only for the selected season)
