Search tips

AniList IDs are the most reliable way to search. Find the ID in the URL:https://anilist.co/anime/1 → Use /recommend type:anime search:1
If a title has no community recommendations on AniList, the bot returns:
No recommendations found for <title>.
Age-restricted titles and their recommendations are hidden in non-NSFW channels. Use /recommend in an age-restricted channel to see all recommendations.

​
Input validation

The bot validates your search input before processing:
  • Empty queries are rejected
  • Queries that exceed the maximum length are rejected
If validation fails, you’ll see a message like: “Invalid search input: search cannot be empty.”
