Tachiyomi: Bit of a problem with MAL search and short titled manga

Created on 24 Jan 2016 · 8Comments · Source: tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi

Series with short names like Rin or Magi are impossible to find in the integrated search feature. While the Magi has the affix "The Labyrinth of Magic" in MAL, Rin has nothing like it and currently it is impossible to find and update it through the app.

A long list of a bunch of stuff that is not Rin:

Can you please add some tooltip or any sort of hint so users don't have to look up this feature on github?

For example you could display a text like "Use my: to search for titles in your MAL profile" below the search textfield all the time or when the search field is empty. When the search textfield is empty there is plenty of space in the white rectangle dedicated to the search results.</p> </div> <div class="card-footer"> <div class="row"> <div class="col"> <img src="https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/12360257?v=4&s=40" style="width:20px; height:20px;" class="mr-2 rounded float-left" alt=" picture"> <strong>reconman</strong> <span class="text-muted ml-1">on 12 Jul 2016</span> </div> <div class="col text-right"> 👍<span class="ml-2 mr-3">5</span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12"> <div class="mb-4"> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3835332123789605" data-ad-slot="9295564578" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 d-flex align-items-center mb-4"> <h2>All 8 comments</h2> </div> <div class="col-12"> <div class="card card-custom mb-4"> <div class="card-body pt-3 pb-3 markdown"> <p>There's nothing I can do there.
