this was a feature in batoto where if the author/artist name A it will only look for and and not include names like Andy or Tanaka or if the title is Boku there will be like 100 titles in it even though I am looking for just "Boku" adding the include all or any for the title author and artist would be nice or when ever you add " " you are looking for the exact word in batoto it was check mark asking if your search is the exact word

you can test this by just searching HERO and you'd see some of the manga shown is not by HERO one of them is even Chinese and one of the author is Heroult cat it's included cause he has hero on his name

If you want to look up for another author's series, you can check mangaupdates/Baka-Updates.

The feature is cool and great, but why dont you take your 5 minutes to look up on Mangaupdates, so you can search author's another work.

I dunno how hard this would be to implement, but considering the examples given, it seems like a good feature. +1 support

It dpes get pretty annoying sometimes. Searching/clicking ZUN could lead to a lot of works not related to him.

Authors will have their own pages in v5, making finding an author's other works from the page of one of their titles trivial. Whether you can use exact matching when searching an author from scratch then, I don't know.

i don't care so much about artist, but the title would interest me. I've had the same issue when searching titles. Maybe boku is exact and boku* gets you anything that starts with boku, or maybe regex rules although not everyone knows regex. Boku with a space after doesn't work and even if if it did it would still return stuff like this: Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki Geboku no Youkaidomo ni Kurabete Monster ga Yowaisugirundaga~

If it's an uncommon letter combination it is not to bad but often if it is short or common you get pages.
