Unofficial Tapas Search (Tapasfans) Thread 2024 (?)

[violin]

Continuing the discussion from Unofficial Tapas Search (Tapasfans) Thread:

As some of you may know, I built a Tapas series search engine awhile back but due to various real life things, it fell into disrepair. I have since got it rebooted and live! Check it out at:

Hello! I've been busy for awhile, but haven't forgotten about this site~ incremental improvements are on their way!

Support

If you like this site and/or want to support it, there are a few things you can to do help me out!

1. Comment in the thread below~ this will help the thread get more exposure and allow more people to discover the search!
2. Link back to the URL http://tapasfans.com/ in your series description or profile! You can also link to this forum post and/or my Tapas profile at miqinviolin
3. Donate to me on Ko-fi or support me with Tapas Ink, but only if you want to!

Thank you sooo much and hope to hear more feedback from you all!

Yay!! Glad it's back.

But when I click "Next Page" in the results, it goes to a broken page.

[nozorries]

Excellent! In addition to the broken "Next" link reported by Cavechan, number of episodes, genre and sort parameters are not retained in the form subsequent to submission.

[violin]

Thanks for reporting the issues! I'll look into them when I have some time

[violin]

Fixed the next page link! Turned out to be a super minor thing (link was pointing to the wrong place)

[MeganUosiu]

Ohh, thank you so much, this is super useful! I've already found something I might want to read in there!
Thank you for sharing this.

Update: Indexer is... kinda sorta fixed!

So this tool used to rely on the help of some data provided me by Tapas, and even though the tool is now fixed, the data they provided me appears to be broken.

Communicating with Tapas right now to see if they would be willing to fix the data for me. It's been awhile so I have no idea if they're still willing to support this side project. If they're not, I will have to scrape the data manually from the web, which will take a LOT longer.

tl;dr stay tuned and hope for good news!

[Zak]

Sorry to be rude, but are we allowed to submit stories to show up on the list? I got curious and tried to find mine but it isnt up on there. ^^'

Or if its too much, Sorry for asking.

[violin]

Was your story written recently? This is supposed to have all the stories on Tapas, but unfortunately due to some data loss it won't contain stories written in the latter half of 2019 and beyond. Currently working on restoring that data

[Zak]

Unfortunately, Yeah. It's okay if it can't be added. Was just curious. ^^'

[OttoGruenwald]

You're doing great work here!

[violin]

@Zak try searching now to see if it's there?

[violin]

Update: Indexer is fixed, and the almighty @Yoon was able to restore data from Tapas' side! Please check now as the data in the search should be 100% up to date as of today

[handspikeauthor]

Haven't dug deeply enough in to find anything broken with it, but I'm thankful that this is making me think more about my tags! This is wonderful!

[violin]

Update: Someone pointed out that the genres aren't the same as the Tapas genres... this is probably because Tapas changed their genres since a year ago (when this tool was first built). Will add that to the list of things to update

Also - happy to see that they have added an LGBTQ+ genre!

[Awesomeness_Studios]

Woah this looks really cool!

[Zak]

Thanks! I see it now!

[Tanako]

WOW good job. Our comic seem to pop up so, this is awesome <3

[violin]

Update: Genres have been updated to match latest genres on Tapas!

[violin]

Update: Genres and Tags now cache the value you entered after searching
