Search queries are implicit-and, and case-insensitive. That is, all search words typed must appear somewhere in a comic's metadata for a 'hit' to be triggered, but not necessarily together, and capitalization is ignored. If you're looking for a specific phrase, surround the phrase with quotes. If you're looking for a specific absense, prepend a '!' in front of the search term.

Searches span the cast, dialog, annotation, and keywords. If you want to limit your search to a specific area, you can do that by typing the area followed by a colon before the search words. Story arc titles are not searched.

Examples:

"hot tea"
