MangaSee search returns too many results - Fuzzysearch

[ghost]

What is broken?

It just doesnt find anything in time, like im just staring at that screen for 3-5 minutes.

FYI: MangaSee offers higher quality scans and also allows very high download speeds without throttling, thats why im using it.

FMD2 and Kaizuko both find search results for MangaSee in 1-2 seconds for One Piece that Tranga struggled with for minutes....

Idk why, but youre also getting wayyyy too many results for MangaSee searches...

Like One Piece returns 166 results while Kaizuko and FMD2 both only give about 4-5 results.

#75

Read up on this. The Mangasee search itself is iffy, so I implemented my own, which sadly right now returns a lot of fake results. This is turn makes the search take ages, because tranga downloads all covers.

Will repurpose this issue to improve the search for Mangasee.

Sorry but this is plain wrong, mangasee is one of the easier sources to scrape...

Litterally just use https://mangasee123.com/search/?sort=s&desc=false&name=

and then follow by the name entered in the text field replacing space with %20

Example for Made in Abyss:

I just noticed youre using C#, i will clone the repo and have a look myself if i can fix it.

[C9Glax]

Sorry but this is plain wrong

right.

[C9Glax]

I am not stupid. Why would I go through the effort of writing my own stupid filter if I could use the site, like with every other connector.

Thats not a problem for you to fix tho, thats a general issue with MangaSee.
People using MangaSee know how to move around these hurldles by using Romanji or using just a few words of the title.

Not saying youre stupid, but why write your own if you can just use the default way of doing it which runs 10000 times faster ?

[ghost]

Like i see 0 benefit if your search returns 166 Results for OP and takes 5 minutes while using the default search would take 5 seconds and give back 3 Results

[C9Glax]

Because the default way of doing it doesn't work!
Saying "it is plain wrong", when the search is indeed fucking broken, and you have to

move around these hurldles by using Romanji or using just a few words of the title

is not correct.

It does work and thats how i and others have been using it in FMD2 for years.

[ghost]

Its better to move around the Scrapers Search hurdles, especially if your own implementation is actually working even less.

[ghost]

Again im not trying to be mean here, but thats how it is at the moment.

[ghost]

If youre not willing to fix this for some reason, then im just going to do it myself and make a fork with it fixed

[C9Glax]

Yes it works. But not correctly. My search works, in that it returns ALL feasible (meaning all matches) for a string. Returning nothing because you are missing an apostrophe is in my book "not working".

Yes it returns too many results, and the best way around that would be a fuzzy search, to which I just not have gotten.
The best way right now to add Mangasee manga is to use a direct link to the manga.

Sorry but isnt it also lowkey out of scope to fix MangaSees broken search, that should be the job of the admins of mangasee.
But the users dont really care cuz its working "well enough", including me.
Why not revert it to the original Search and put this on a testing branch till it works like you want it to ?

[ghost]

If youre not willing to fix this for some reason, then im just going to do it myself and make a fork with it fixed

Again just tell me and i will create a fork called TrangaSee for the time beeing, till you fixed the search.

[C9Glax]

Because people have been complaining that certain Manga just don't come up in results.
Of course it is up to Mangasee admins to fix their search, and if you want to use their search function you can do that!
You can add Manga to Tranga by using the URL of the Manga.

You are free to create your own fork, there is a commit somewhere that had the original search, you can just revert that and it should do the job.

[ghost]

You can add Manga to Tranga by using the URL of the Manga.

Dont quite get how ? just paste the url in the searchbar ?

[ghost]

or only with the api directly ?

[ghost]

Also if i came over negative or mean, thats not what i wanted.
Im not really good with communicating and such stuff :(

[C9Glax]

Like this

So with the connector selected

[ghost]

Thank you so much, then i will use this :D

[ghost]

Oops you wanted to keep this open to track this.

[C9Glax]

Yup, thanks 👍🏼

[db-2001]

Sorry but this is plain wrong

right.

Noticing URL has "+" instead of "%20" for spaces, not sure if this makes a difference, just brining it up.

[C9Glax]

Nope, doesn't change a thing.
