How to Use the Search Bar Effectively

The search bar at the top of every page lets you quickly find series, issues, creators, characters, and user lists. Start typing and results appear instantly, grouped by type.

Click the search bar and type what you're looking for. Results are organized into tabs:

  • All - Shows a mix of everything
  • Series - Comic runs and volumes
  • Issues - Individual comics
  • Creators - Writers, artists, and other contributors
  • Characters - Heroes, villains, and everyone in between
  • Lists - Public user lists and wishlists
Note
Quick search focuses on Western comics by default. Use the dedicated Series Search page to browse manga, manhwa, and other mediums.

Click any result to go directly to that page, or click "More" at the bottom of a tab to see full results.

Dedicated Search Pages

For more control, each content type has its own search page with filters.

Filter by publisher, creators, characters, publication type, status, year range, and medium. You can also hide unreleased series and sort by featured, recently added, most issues, or highest rated.

Filter by characters, publishers, series, titles, and release date range. Unreleased issues are hidden by default.

Note
When filtering by multiple characters, issues must feature ALL selected characters, not just one of them.

Characters

Browse and filter by publisher or character role. Sort by most appearances, name, or recently updated.

Creators

Filter by role (writer, artist, colorist, etc.) and sort by most issues, most series, or name.

Search Tips

  • Use full names for better results ("Spider-Man" instead of "Spider")
  • Check the dedicated search pages for advanced filtering
  • Use the medium filter on Series Search to find manga or other formats
  • Look through all tabs in quick search before giving up
  • Expect quick search to include every content type (publishers, story arcs, and teams have their own browse pages)
  • Assume something is missing after one search attempt
