Type it the way you say it
The search box is built for real typing. A full title works, half of one works, the romaji title works, the Japanese or Korean title in its own script works, and so do the other names a title goes by. The abbreviations fans use work: JJK, AOT, MHA, SxF, TLOU, HOTD. Words like "watch", "online", "free", "hd" and "456movies" are stripped before the search runs, so a phrase pasted from a search engine finds the title rather than nothing.
Names
Type an actor and every title of theirs in the catalogue lines up: Alan Ritchson, Song Joong-ki, Lee Jung-jae. Type a studio and the same happens. Type a genre word, "isekai" will not work but "fantasy" will, and the search treats it as a genre. Type a language, "korean", "japanese", and it narrows to that language.
Series and episodes
Add a season and an episode to the name, "frieren s2e3", "reacher season 3 episode 4", and the results narrow to the series whose season has that episode with a recorded air date. One tap opens the show, and the season page is one tap further, with the row you wanted in the table. Anime seasons follow the cours, so check the season page if a number does not match what you expected.
Filters
On the search page the box gains filters: type, genre, year, status, country, original language and minimum rating, plus a sort by popularity, newest, rating, recent update or name. Begin with the widest filter that matters to you, usually the language or the genre, and narrow from there. Reset clears the lot, and because the address bar carries the search, a filtered list can be sent to a friend as a link.
When the search comes back empty
Remove one filter at a time. The most common cause is a year that is one off; the second is a title in another language, so try the romaji or the English release title; the third is a name that belongs to a series when you searched movies, so switch Type to All. And if the title is genuinely missing, the A-Z list shows the whole catalogue in one scroll.
