Tag count

[EOTFOFYL]

Having gone through a certain degenerate site for some time I kinda "just noticed" that we don't show the total number of hits for tags. I've found it to be fairly useful in narrowing down searches by figuring out what's fudging my queries.

Something like so:

Action(9188991) Adventure(8178384) Isekai(467810) Romance(696969)

Although, this is really just fluff and nothing critical.

@EOTFOFYL just curious, just how do you use it to narrow down your searches?

It is useful? Before that, do they store this data at all I wonder...

@schlo

start with a very populated tag and slowly add/remove them based on results. If I want to go laser focus I can use a relatively less populated tag. Or, I can slowly narrow the scope by plugging in tags in order of more popular to least.

Usually I do the latter; see what other tags are around, add to querie, repeat. The former is only done when I want something oddly specific since the smallest tag pool will dictate my result, intersection count aside. If a particular tag skews everything to stuff that sucks I just backtrack.

It's basically like slapping on more circles on a venn diagram and see what shows up in the middle, except you know exactly the size of each circle.

ok, that's interesting. Hadn't thought of that.

If not, implementation shouldn't be too outlandish, barring some unforseen technical limitations.

@EOTFOFYL
So basically number of results based on a tag, not number of searches (of all users/per user) for that tag?
If so, it's fairy easy I guess.

This will be even more useful when MangaDex eventually adds Hentai tags _{maybe someday I hope pls}
