π Searching
Look up words across multiple dictionaries and categories directly in the Super-Shitiori bot's official server.
π§ Overview
The "#πο½searching" 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.
π 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)
π Dictionary Filters
You can narrow down your results using the dropdown menu. Available filters include:
- π **All** β Search every word in the bot's main dictionary
- π« **Blacklist** β See Blacklisted words
- π **Cosmos** β Astronomical objects, Concepts, Names, and terms
- π¨ **Phobias** β Words ending in
-phobia/e/ac/st (and plural) - π **Countries** β Countries Regions and Territories (+ Fictional Nations)
- β‘ **Pokemon** β Everything PokΓ©mon Related from Anime Manga TCG Company
- π **Ologies** β Words ending in
-ology + Suffixes - π’ **Numbers** β Words that are Numbers and or contain numbers 0-9 in word form
- π **Palindromes** β Words spelled the same forwards/backwards
- πΉ **Smalls** β Short words less or equal to 5 letters
- πΈ **Large** β Very long words greater or equal to 30 letters
Selecting a filter automatically refreshes your search with that filter applied.
Search results are interactive:
- **βοΈ / βΆοΈ** β Flip between pages of results
- **Asc / Desc** β Sort by length (shortest β longest or longest β shortest)
- **A-Z / Z-A** β Sort alphabetically
Results are cached for speed, so flipping pages is nearly instant.
β οΈ Known Quirks
Searching is powerful but has a few odd behaviors worth noting:
- **Normalization Changes Your Regex** β Certain symbols are replaced:
$becomesdollar, so searchingion$will act asiondollar
- **Regex Mode Is Automatic** β 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** β If a result is very long (100+ characters), fewer results will display per page.
β³ 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.
