Im somewhat new to this site, but I have come a long way to understanding how things work. Just missing one simple thing, how do I search by genre? ie: Futa, Tentacle, Female Protagonist etc.

You can cross search multiple tags
Use multiple tags by separating them with a comma or type the first three letters and choose from the drop down menu in the Tags search bar.
ex. (3dcg, male protagonist, incest, big tits, etc.)

Well, yes but actually no. There's no "side scroller" tag for example. Talking about genre, not simple inclusions.

Does anyone have a proper answer on this question?

Latest updates. You can pick ten tags to include and exclude, also the prefixes. And there is a side-scroller tag, never used that tag pages search.

But if the available tags aren't what you want then there isn't any other way to search.

Edit Again - Put this here then. Genres are in tags, as side-scroller shows. Latest updates has a and/or switch.

Again, 'tags' aren't 'genre'.
In addition to this - I don't think there's even a way to choose a <tag 1> OR <tag 2>. You can only include tags to stack up and that's usually the less useful option when searching.
Anyway, I am looking for a reply from a mod on this.

Still waiting for a reply.
you seem stuck on trying to prove your point and not processing the infomation you have available.

general troubleshooting = ask community (not staff) for help with a problem you have

solved = considered solved and requiring no further input (the op explained what they meant by "genre", and that's been answered); nobody (and especially not mods) except a few ocd folks and some of those who have previously replied to the thread will pay attention to posts here.

https://f95zone.to/threads/tags-rules-and-list-updated-2024-09-15.10394/ - what tags mean here. you use them to narrow down your search so you have fewer titles to browse through.

for discovering stuff you can't get to with tags and other filters there's describing what you're looking for in https://f95zone.to/forums/recommendations-identification.104/ (seeking prefix) and for new features you're supposed to ask in https://f95zone.to/forums/features-request.13/ (after reading the pinned threads)

I don't think there's even a way to choose a <tag 1> OR <tag 2>. You can only include tags to stack up and that's usually the less useful option when searching.
use latest updates, not xenforo's built-in forum search.

though tbh it's the less useful option considering what the tags are used here for.
