## Search Tips

<NsfwWarning />

<Tip>
  **AniList IDs guarantee exact matches.** Find the ID in the URL:

  `https://anilist.co/manga/30013` → Use `/manga search:30013`
</Tip>

<AccordionGroup>
  <SearchNoResults mediaType="manga" extra="Searching for the Japanese title in kana/kanji" />

  <Accordion title="Light novels vs manga">
    AniList treats light novels and manga as separate entries. If searching for a light novel:

    ```
    /manga search:Sword Art Online
    ```

    May return the light novel, not the manga adaptation. Check the format in the response.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Manhwa and manhua">
    Korean manhwa and Chinese manhua are fully supported:

    ```
    /manga search:Solo Leveling
    /manga search:The Beginning After The End
    ```
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

pub fn register() -> CreateCommand {
    CreateCommand::new("manga")
        .description("Fetches the details for a manga")
        .add_option(
            CreateCommandOption::new(
                CommandOptionType::String,
                "search",
                "Anilist ID or Search term",
            )
            .required(true),
        )
}
```
