Default [BY DESIGN][BUG] Searching the anime

I'm wondering it is called "bug" or "request"

No results returned when I searched "Katekyo Reborn"
No results returned when I searched "Code geass recap" etc

So please fix the searching query.

You didn't get results for the first, cause you left out "Hitman". And "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Recaps" would have come up if you simply entered "Code Geass".

Problem is
If i search WITHOUT middle words no results return. It must be fixed.

It's not broken, so it doesn't need to be fixed. Don't search without the middle word, and there's no problem.

Then what's the purpose of search?

I didn't need these searches. Just examples.

Sometimes people forget middle words or even don't know. Too many results for first or last word...

it *is* a good point, though, that if you're needing something that goes under a more common word, you're going to have trouble if you stick with the database search. And a database should probably aim to be robust and user-friendly if it's as comprehensive as the one we have here.

If i don't know a series' (or OVA or whatever) name i just type in the one or two words i do know, then go through the list of about 10 titles maximum. It's easy...

The search has always been rather touchy. The trick is to always use the minimal words possible, and to omit things at the beginning or end instead of the middle.
In the examples you posted for example, you should search for "geass" or "katekyo" or "reborn". These searches would bring you the results you're looking for.
