[X] My Assistant

Alright after testing it out for a bit, if we can't get the page numbers back for speed, can we at least get more than:
<<First <Prev Jump/Seek Next> Last>>

Jumping ahead by two or three pages as we could before was just a feature I used all of the time since I keep tying to use it now.

<<First <3Prev <2 Prev <Prev Jump/Seek Next> 2Next> 3Next> Last>>

For the other issue of not being able to jump to page 14829 or so to rate random hentai from the past/update tags/etc.:
Workaround....there were what like 30000 pages if you had 25 items on each page:
Click on Last,
Multiply the page number you want (so like 18000 since that's where the good stuff is) by 25 (#of searches per page) and put it here https://e-hentai.org/?prev=________

Unless you are searching by tag...then I really don't understand how to use this site anymore.

Ummm.... What in Gods name is going on here?
Now since everyone and their cat is already throwing their (well deserved) hatred at the new search system I might as well make my comment on it.

While I enjoy the new smoother and cleaner HUD design for searching, to be honest the new search engine is a load of poop - I honestly cannot think of any better way of saying it. For starters the page system was extremely well designed as is since it was easy to navigate as a simple anon on the site. You didn't need to know dates and times and reference numbers just to find a specific artbook or doujinshi, however now the site runs like a image randomizer. The site navigation has no support for new or random users.

While my personal opinion likely doesn't matter to the site-admins as a random anon however I would rather have the old stuff back, I feel like I am scrolling through a low-quality rule-34 porn site with no design or user compatibility. Even low quality scan sites have better navigations.

How exactly did pages help you find a specific gallery? Pages move all the time, something that was on page 30 a week ago won't be on page 30 today, with date/gid it will stay in the same place.

Simple, since the galleries were organised by Visible numbers it made locating them much easier. Even if you lost the item (for example some art on page 2 that later moved to page 7) it was still easy to locate due to the numbers. Another reason was that it allowed for faster jumps, lets say you had a search with 300 pages with and loads of galleries and you browsed up to page 147 - now it is impossible to relocate that page since it does not exist anymore.

Sure its easier to remember a page number but its not that big of a problem to remember a date instead.
Or better, just bookmarking it in the first place.

Page Counter Script

This isn't really a replacement for proper pagination, but it does get a little annoying when you search a tag, you get thousands of results and you have to mentally divide it by 25 (rounded up) to get an accurate number of pages for said result.

The script doesn't work when you get the "Found many results." from using multiple tag filters with a lot of results. Can't really do anything about that since the script just takes the total number of results and they just aren't available.

And obviously it doesn't track your movement through the pages.
(We tried using GM.setValue/GM.getValue, but I dunno JS and the other person didn't have the time, but it should be possible to track every time you click NEXT, to give you an idea of where you are in terms of page in the current session, albeit with limitations, so it wouldn't be a replacement for proper pagination. Here's a [pastebin.com] Pastebin with how far with got trying to implement a pagination system.)

The script in action:

(IMG:[i.imgur.com] https://i.imgur.com/DAaN7gR.png)

Here's the script:

CODE

let searchElement = document.querySelector(".searchtext>p");
let results = parseInt(searchElement.textContent.match(/(\d)/g).join(''));
searchElement.innerHTML += `Pages ${Math.ceil(results/25).toFixed(0)}`;

Just paste it into any of the Monkey add-ons (should work on Chromium but tested on Firefox), and add the domains you want to @match, .org* and .org/tag*, possibly favorites too.

PS: If for some reason you have more than 25 results per page, just adjust the dividing number to that.

Page selector was very useful and i used it all the time to keep track of where i was in my results and to jump pages fast. It also was a nice gauge on how many results i got when searching specific tags. Please bring it back, this update is so stupid imo

I think this already works pretty well if you just want some fake numbers.

It would be nice if the purple sliding line vanished after we take the cursor off the time bar.

I'm not smart. Can you please at least give us the option to switch between search engines?

No. Old one is being deleted.

please read the explanations in this tread. There is no way back. Trust tenboro or go elsewhere.

Fair enough. Thanks for the advice. I'll take it.

Well, congratulations. Your update finally broke (fixed?) the work-around I used for my favorite blacklisted tag.

Sure. I could search each individual family member. Because, for some reason, incest is blacklisted but sister, mother, brother, and son aren't (and daughter is). You know, because consistency. But that is way more effort than it is worth.

Anyway...while I always found it irksome that someone would be okay with violent tags like rape or snuff, but would then block a tag that often contains nothing but consenting adults because it personally gives them the ick -- I was enough of a pragmatist to ignore it while I had a work around. Now that it's gone, the hypocrisy is a bit too much.

So I'll heed Noni's advice and take my site traffic elsewhere.

Good luck with update.

Minor update:

- Added some significant optimizations for a frequently used search strategy for when multiple name+tag/comment search terms are used and at least one of the name+tag terms has less than 10000 hits. (For some cases this will reduce processing time by >90%).

- The search query parser will now handle various cases where repeated or redundant search qualifiers are used, such as weak:tag:foo or tag:tag:tag:bar.

The former is a fairly complicated addition, so let me know if you spot any weirdness in search results after this.

Well, congratulations. Your update finally broke (fixed?) the work-around I used for my favorite blacklisted tag.

You're doing a really bad job describing exactly what your workaround was, what it was working around, and how it is now broken, but good luck elsewhere I guess, person who registered 27 minutes before making that post.

Hello, while I'm not happy to see the pages number go, the explanation make sense, and more than anything else, this is Tenboro's site, and if he want to change stuff about it, well, that's it.

Moreover, it's not like any alternative are glowing either.

Thanks for taking care of our hentai needs!

This update sucks. It's not like doujins get scanned and uploaded the exact day it gets released so it's completely useless at least for me. You could probably purge like 50% of the galleries because a lot of these that get uploaded are pure fucking garbage, and they're mostly Western/American shit. It's the same problem on Kemono too where 90% of Patreon stuff is just dog water trash so you end up ignoring it, except for a handful of actually decent Western artists that you already knew from external sites like Twitter etc.

Kind of forgot about it, we talk about index getting big and search functionality killing servers, but then there are galleries with 2-5 pages and weird cartoonish style that I personally wouldn't say are worth looking at. But we are entering a gatekeeping area of what's wank worthy.

And it feels like voting/star system doesn't solve that issue. I have seen 2 galleries next to each other which are from same author and simillar content nuked into ground with 1 star and the second one keeping strong 4+ just because of first few votes. And because of that you can't really expunge galleries that are 1 star as kind of filter.

So, is there any way for me to have normal galeries AND expunged galleries included in the same search? Pages being removed sucks balls, but I can at least semi-begrudgingly accept that it was done because the site owners were too cheap to shell out for the needed hardware upgrades. However I refuse to believe that making the user have to make two searches just to get all the search results they asked for will do anything other than cause even more stress on the servers than they were already going through, and it's a massive pain in the ass for the user side of things.

Alternately, can anyone recommend me any good alternate sites, preferably scraper sites that completely copy all of the galeries on this site wholesale? Because if e-hentai can't provide a useable UI that gives me what I want, then I'm more than happy to go somewhere else.

Why, in the name of artistic depravity, would I describe any of those things?

It is a work around to a blacklisted item. It hardly seems in my, or anyone other pervs', best interest to tell you how I'm circumventing site rules. From my perspective, you are just as likely to double-down and make sure the workaround is completely unusable for anything as you are to make it useable for this again, probably more so.

Anyway... as it turns out, it didn't so much break the workaround as add a very minor step. One that I don't fully understand why it would need. But whatever, it works now. All is as it should be.

There are galleries that are just nothing but random collections of images, those are a definite purge. As for gatekeeping, who is seriously going to miss Western trash like this?

Like come on, you gotta have at least something to call a standard. There are also tons of galleries that are just 4-6 pages because the uploader wants to get easy currency or whatever trash that motivates people to upload garbage on this site.

So, is there any way for me to have normal galeries AND expunged galleries included in the same search?

Not for now.

Dude, as it stands i'm suprised this site is still working, what do you mean by being too cheap. I doubt this site is turing enormous profits. Or who knows?

However I refuse to believe that making the user have to make two searches just to get all the search results they asked for will do anything other than cause even more stress on the servers than they were already going through, and it's a massive pain in the ass for the user side of things.

I mean, the only thing i went to expunge galleries is to search for removed copyright content. Under normal circumstances and as normal user, no one really wants to see them, they are meant to be put in trash. And if you are talking about reuploaded stuff for visibility that is more of feature request as a rotating galleries showing you the good stuff from past that are already there somewhere.

I would kind of like a feature where if some gallery in another language is uploaded and i have this language filtered out, i would either see the non-translated gallery or english version.

And maybe a gallery which is only a link to the anthology with it's own separate tags so you actually know what's in there. So that one good title can be extracted from the rest of mediocre stuff, and your search result for author/tag can hit it.
