How to find those pesky Japanese sites Anonymous
I used to only find neat images on 4chan. But lo! I was not contributing! Very sad. I then learned the Ultimate Searching Technique, and now I shall share it:
In this case, I'll use the example of my newest interest, Dark Butler.

1. Find out how it's spelled because there could be MANY different ways and you'll want to try them all. For instance, I happened to know that Dark Butler is really called "Kuro Shitsuji," as I saw it posted here on /cm/. So I googled that and, fortunately, there was a website that listed the writing: ???. Wikipedia is useful for this sort of thing, because fans often get nitpicky and spell it in all its myriad of ways. The Japanese spelling is the most important.

2. Which brings us to the next point: Once you have the kanji, you can do a search. Go to Google and hit Advanced Search. Notice that there's a "languages" drop-down menu. Select (gasp) Japanese and put your kanji in the "with all words" space.

3. "OH SHI-" you say, "there are TONS of things!" Right. That's why you'll want to actually refine. Often, the Japanese use English words for things, such as "gallery" and "pbbs" (paint bbs). So try again, now with those words. ??? pbbs or ??? gallery

4. From there, they often have link pages. Check those out, too. Don't get discouraged. These link pages are GOLD.

5. Remember Engrish. Sometimes you'll want to try variations, such as "Gallely" or "galery" or "pics" (I see "pict" a lot).

6. Note that a handful of titles use the English spelling, such as "Hellsing." But you'd still Google it the same way, in the Japanese language drop-down.

Comment too long. Clickhereto view the full text.

HOW MUCH MORE OBVIOUS CAN YOU GET
this is actually worse than those how-do-i-fortune threads on /b/ and posts made by people who think that to upload a pic you have to put an imageshack link in the comment field, multiplied by each other

Using google to search in kanji in advanced search is not quite as in your face as a basic google-fu. Is it difficult? Not in the least. No fucking harm in mentioning how it's done, either. But what would chan be without dirty fuckers whining?

OP speaks truth, especially on #4. You can find a shitload of sites on those link pages, including alternate search engines and other fanart sites.

Props for actually writing all that shit out, too.

jesus christ
someone thinks it'll be a good idea to post a thread about putting the motherfucking name of a series into google to find related websites
somehow, the OP manages to make it into a fucking _tl;dr_
and that's not enough, SOME PEOPLE ARE APPARENTLY CONSIDERING IT NEW KNOWLEDGE
my mind cannot wrap around the extent of failure contained in this thread
jesus christ what the fuck did happen to this board
are all (sane) people still away because of the recent zip. downtime? did everyone (sane) leave because the newfag summer was too much? was there a mass bannination somewhere on 4chan?
JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

OH GOD NO, SOMEONE WAS HELPFUL.

Yes. Because rather than bitch and moan at the newfags, gaiafags, etc., and watch as they fail repeatedly, I thought I'd be part of the solution.

And if you aren't careful...I MIGHT BE HELPFUL AGAIN. Oh SHI-

Fucking around with the advanced options isn't quite as intuitive as simple googlefu. You don't get shit except DA fags with basic google, get frustrated, and give up.

Anyone with a brain'll figure it out sooner or later. Or stumble on a walkthrough and go oh hayz, duh, me tard.

If you need a walkthrough to figure out how the advance search works, you need to stay away from the internet forever.

BEWARE, HUEG SPOILERS AHEAD
1. if your search phrase is in moonrunes, you OBVIOUSLY don't have to select japanese in advanced search
2. clicking on advanced search isn't hard. really
3. if you need a tutorial to figure out how to make one-click operations on the world's most simple website, then for your own safety you really shouldn't be using anything that's powered by electricity, has pointy edges and/or cords with which you could accidentally strangle yourself
4. it's google fucking dot com for FUCK'S SAKE DID I GO TO THE SECRET RETARD VERSION OF 4CHAN BY SOME FREAK ACCIDENT

tl;dr don't kid yourself, sagefags sage because they're enjoying it, not because you've 'pissed them off'. this board has seen thousands of rebellious newfags, gaiafags and worse idiots than you, and if anything is able to faze anonymous, it certainly isn't them. you are neither new or original. you just were a convenient target to vent on/lol at, and that's why you got saged. deal with it.

OP here.
Flail your arms all you want. But when that newfag reads this (there could even be two or three!), smacks his forehead and manages to find something awesome, I WILL HAVE MY...er...revenge. Something.

It's not actually a post about using the Googlez, but what you PUT in them.

The upset replies are seriously lulzy, though. Thanks for the lulz, /cm/!

Some of ya'll are way too angry. Regardless of how easy it is, most people don't find their own stuff and just constantly repost the same 10 fanart over and over again.

about the only way to use 'the Googlez' is 'putting something in them'
the only reasons this thread has got so much attention:
1. some people apparently can't figure out that if they want to find sites about [series name], they should google [series name]
2. anonymous can't comprehend how anyone could be THIS retarded and still be able to type and use a computer

for fuck's sake
it's google
G-O-O-G-L-E
you put shit in the field, you click the button, you get results.
it's not rocket science. it's the most repeated, and the most simple, basic, primitive operation on the internets.
if you fail at that, you are beyond anything 4chan has ever seen or heard and need to kill yourself to the last subatomic particle.
