How do you use Gelbooru effectively for image searching?

[AngieMacal]

I’m new to using Gelbooru and would like to learn how to search properly. Sometimes it’s difficult to find specific images using tags. I want to know which tags and filters work best for better results. Any tips or advice for beginners would be really helpful.

Gelbooru requires specific tag searches and not broad phrase searches. Filter results by combining several tags, such as the character, artist and style tags. In order to discover what you really want, filter out irrelevant content, rank search results by relevance or date, and understand basic tag structures to optimize the search process.
