if we can add search function to search all sources site an eliminate the duplicate
EXAMBL if we search by "artist" it will search all the Sources site for all the book by this artist and eliminate the duplicate and if we can add advance search function like this EXAMBL Search Artist "Majorin" Languages "English" Type " DOUJINSHI" that will be fantastic

I like the idea but creating a functioning search system that accounts for the quirks of all tag systems of the different sites... Yeah I don't think it's feasible. The only app that I know does this is Anime Boxes and they're able to do that due to a unified booru structure that the app is compatible with. Idea seconded but it's extremely unlikely that something like that will ever come to fruition in Hentoid.

I second what @TrainDoctor just explained. Doing that would force us to develop and maintain compatibility with every site's result page, which is unrealistic given the current manpower of the dev team and the efforts of certain sites to prevent apps like Hentoid from doing that.

If you want to see the latest books of your favourite artists, right now the best way to do that is to bookmark a given site's artist page.

Thanks for dropping by and suggesting a feature, though 😄
