The SIMKL Search Engine () is designed to help users find movies, TV shows, and anime with accurate and relevant results. However, SIMKL does not offer mixed searching, meaning users cannot search across movies, TV shows, and anime in one search result.
Instead, searches are categorized separately, ensuring that results remain optimized and relevant to each content type.
No, SIMKL does not support mixed searching. Each category (Movies, TV Shows, Anime) is searched separately to improve result accuracy and filtering.
When mixing search results, partial keywords often pull up irrelevant results across categories.
To ensure users find what they are actually looking for, SIMKL separates Movies, TV Shows, and Anime in search results.
Search rankings on SIMKL work by tracking user interactions, such as clicks and searches.
For a title to appear in the top results, it must be ranked within the first 50 results for a keyword.
If a title does not appear in the first 50 results and no one clicks on it, it won’t move up in rank—which makes mixed searching unreliable.
Use SIMKL’s Search Filters: Instead of mixed searching, use category-specific searches:
Utilize Custom Lists & Collections:
You can create separate lists for movies, TV shows, and anime, then group them together using List Collections.
SIMKL prioritizes search accuracy over mixed results to ensure users find what they are looking for quickly and effectively. While mixed searching is not available, filtered search and custom lists offer great alternatives for organizing and discovering content.
