Summary0002779: ability to cross search results for anime and character
Descriptionsort of advanced search feature, entering 'washuu' in character box and 'tenchi' in anime box would result in a list (or list of lists in case of multiple character matches) with character on the left and list of anime matching search query that that character is in, on the right. that would of course imply 'at least one cross-match to display anything'.

it could be more useful as a generalized advanced search, able to cross any number of categories (anime, character, creator and possibly everything else - relations are there) in one search.

i don't think this makes a whole lot of sense in the scope of animelist. animes earch and the result page which is animelist is anime centric. throwing a partial character name search would require to display character as well and that does not really mesh well with the rest of the data. having an absolute search for a specific character has very limited use considering most character appear in just their own franchise which is mostly 1 series. character pages which list the anime in question are better for that. in essence this would require a completely new result page and that seems a lot of effort for a feature that has such minimal appliance
