== 🔍 Searching ==
'''Look up words across multiple dictionaries and categories directly in the Super-Shitiori bot's official server.'''

=== 🧭 Overview ===
The '''"#🔎｜searching"''' channel is a special channel on the official Super-Shiritori Bot server where players can search the entire word database with some limitations. You can search for any substring, regular expression, or full word, and pseudo-instantly (due to size it has some delay) browse results with interactive buttons.

=== 🛠 How It Works ===

* Type your '''search pattern''' in the chat (e.g. water)
* The bot will:
** '''Normalize''' your pattern (case-insensitive and removing diacritics and converting all the official [[Normalizations]])
** Run a search across all available words
** Display the first page of matching results (up to 13 per page and 5 if words are greater than a certain length)

----

=== 🗂 Dictionary Filters ===
You can narrow down your results using the dropdown menu. Available filters include:

* 📚 **All** – Search every word in the bot's main dictionary
* 🚫 **Blacklist** – See Blacklisted words
* 🌌 **Cosmos** – Astronomical objects, Concepts, Names, and terms
* 😨 **Phobias** – Words ending in <code>-phobia/e/ac/st (and plural)</code>
* 🌍 **Countries** – Countries Regions and Territories (+ Fictional Nations)
* ⚡ **Pokemon** – Everything Pokémon Related from Anime Manga TCG Company
* 📖 **Ologies** – Words ending in <code>-ology + Suffixes</code>
* 🔢 **Numbers** – Words that are Numbers and or contain numbers 0-9 in word form
* 🔄 **Palindromes** – Words spelled the same forwards/backwards
* 🔹 **Smalls** – Short words less or equal to 5 letters
* 🔸 **Large** – Very long words greater or equal to 30 letters

Selecting a filter automatically refreshes your search with that filter applied.

=== ⏩ Navigation & Sorting ===
Search results are interactive:

# **◀️ / ▶️** – Flip between pages of results
# **Asc / Desc** – Sort by length (shortest → longest or longest → shortest)
# **A-Z / Z-A** – Sort alphabetically

Results are cached for speed, so flipping pages is nearly instant.
----

=== ⚠️ Known Quirks ===
Searching is powerful but has a few odd behaviors worth noting:

* **Normalization Changes Your Regex** – Certain symbols are replaced:
** <code>$</code> becomes <code>dollar</code>, so searching <code>ion$</code> will act as <code>iondollar</code>
* **Regex Mode Is Automatic** – Most patterns are treated as regex. If your pattern causes an error, the bot falls back to substring search.
* **Long Words Shrink Your Page Size** – If a result is very long (100+ characters), fewer results will display per page.

----

=== ⏳ Timeouts ===
Search results stay interactive for about '''60 seconds'''. After that, buttons become disabled and you'll need to type again to refresh with a new search.
