Unable to search

I cannot use the search bar on the website. If I want to search manga, I have to go to the "Advanced Search",

a bit more information would be useful
like

• do all api requests succeed (if no, then the status code and error response would be useful)
• what's your browser
• what you're searching

I actually checked devtools and the user search is failing with a 403. This happened right around the time I got forum banned.

the user search is failing with a 403.

this is a bit more helpful
though it would still be nice if you could provide this:

• the error response (json code) of the request that was 403'd
• the exact text what you're searching

here is an example post from me

This happened right around the time I got forum banned.

This should have nothing to do with it.
Or rather, I'm 100% sure it doesn't since the frontend doesn't send the session token to the search endpoint, which means it doesn't have a way to identify and block specifically you

Well at some point it fixed itself so either my forum ban itself was tied to it or something changed

The session token is sent. Here's a sample fetch:

fetch("https://api.mangadex.org/user?username=test&limit=5", {
  "headers": {
    "accept": "*/*",
    "accept-language": "en-US,en;q=0.9",
    "authorization": "Bearer oh.no.you.didn't",
    "sec-ch-ua": "\"Google Chrome\";v=\"117\", \"Not;A=Brand\";v=\"8\", \"Chromium\";v=\"117\"",
    "sec-ch-ua-mobile": "?0",
    "sec-ch-ua-platform": "\"macOS\"",
    "sec-fetch-dest": "empty",
    "sec-fetch-mode": "cors",
    "sec-fetch-site": "same-site",
    "Referer": "https://mangadex.org/",
    "Referrer-Policy": "strict-origin"
  },
  "body": null,
  "method": "GET"
});
