## Search tips

All media lookup commands (`/anime`, `/manga`, `/songs`, `/recommend`, `/character`) accept flexible search inputs.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="AniList IDs for exact matches">
    Use the numeric ID from AniList URLs for reliable results:

    ```text theme={}
    /anime search:21
    /manga search:30013
    ```

    The ID appears in the URL: `https://anilist.co/anime/21` → ID is `21`
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Japanese kana and kanji">
    Search titles in native scripts:

    ```text theme={}
    /manga search:きめつのやいば
    /anime search:ワンピース
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Numeric titles require quotes">
    Wrap number-only titles in quotes so parsing is stable:

    ```text theme={}
    /songs search:"86"
    /anime search:"91 Days"
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Try multiple variations">
    If no result is found, try:

    * Romaji: `One Piece`
    * English title: `Demon Slayer`
    * Alternate spelling: `Jujutsu Kaisen` vs `Jujutsyu Kaisen`
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Guild visibility

When you link your AniList account with `/register`, `/anime` and `/manga` can show registered member data:

* member watch/reading status
* individual AniList score
* list activity inside the Discord server where the command runs

<Note>
  Linking one member is enough for `/anime` and `/manga` to include status in that server. Use `/settings` to opt out of guild score display or, with **Manage Server** permission, disable server score displays.
</Note>

## Terms and privacy

By adding Annie Mei to a Discord server or using its slash commands, you agree to the [Terms of Service](/legal/terms-of-service). The [Privacy Policy](/legal/privacy-policy) explains how Annie Mei handles Discord interactions, optional AniList account links, logs, diagnostics, and deletion requests.

## Getting started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Link your AniList account">
    Run `/register` and complete the OAuth browser flow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm your link">
    Use `/whoami` to verify the connected AniList account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review preferences">
    Use `/settings` to choose title display, analytics privacy, and guild score options.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search media">
    Use `/anime`, `/manga`, or `/search` to find titles by name or AniList ID.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get recommendations">
    Use `/recommend` to find related titles based on an anime or manga you enjoy.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find songs">
    Use `/songs` to get opening and ending theme tracks.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Command response times

Commands defer initial responses to prevent Discord timeouts. Expect:

* **AniList ID lookups** to return fastest
* **Text searches** to take longer while AniList search resolves first
* **Theme song lookups** to take the longest because they combine AniList, MAL, and Spotify

<Warning>
  If a command runs longer than 15 seconds, retry and check `/ping`.
