Negative search filter (the exclusion instead of inclusion) does not seems to work on demographic tags. :not a bug:

[reeverdark]

Hi ya.

Just so say, when i perform a search with a tick to include, and double tick to exclude, that it wont always filter out certain titles from the results.

For example, i could exclude items such as tragedy or sports just fine, but if i also exclude things like Josei or Shoujo, they will still appear within the results.

For bug finding i can provide an imgur on request.

I'm on the latest 64bit chrome


for reproduction, on the latest search i filtered as such:

Include> Isekai
Exclude> 4-koma, Yaoi, horror, Josei, Shoujo, Tragedy

Search URL: https://mangadex.org/?page=search&source_lang=2&genres_inc=41&genres_exc=1,14,15,27,35,37


Anyhow, hope this helps.

@reeverdark

The demographic genre tags are being phased out in favor of the actual demographic field. It won't detect the demographic in the demographic field when you exclude it

Any update on this? It's still broken.

I'd imagine many people prefer not to see any e.g. Josei or Shoujo in search results

@WongFeiHong No updates yet, our focus is on other higher priority features at the moment. We'll focus on fixing that part of search when we revamp our genres and add H genres as well.
