limited results for English searches
Closed this issue · 2 comments
hello developers!
I am writing to you because I have some doubts about the search() function you can call on the Jikan.Clien anime or manga respectively.
well I would like to ask you why this search is only done on the default title but not on the synonyms of a particular series.
For example searching for demon slayer in client.anime.search() and then filtering so that the title includes the word demon slayer (to avoid all irrelevant results), only returns me two results which are respectively
- Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba Asakusa Arc
- Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba Tsuzumi Mansion Arc
however when I search for Kimetsu No Yaiba the api returns a whole series of results, containing in the titles field also the English synonym 'demon slayer'
Could you tell me why this happens and if there is a way I can get all the results for kimetsu no yaiba back even when searching for 'demon slayer'?
i really appreciate the work you are and have done, it is one of the most complete and well done libraries in my opinion, and i hope you can help me
Thank you for your kind words!
I tried replicating this issue and I got the same results. Unfortunately this is a problem with the API itself, and I don't know how exactly the API searching works. I asked the API developers about this and I will give an update soon.
Sadly, it seems that only default titles are indexed for searching by Jikan API. Hopefully the API devs will fix it soon.
