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.

To use Gelbooru effectively, start by searching with specific tags that describe what you want, such as a character name, artist, or theme. Combine multiple tags to narrow results, and use a minus sign to exclude unwanted content (for example, -tag). Take advantage of tag suggestions and the tag list to find the most accurate terms. You can also sort by popularity, date, or score to discover trending or high-quality images. Using precise tag combinations is the best way to get relevant results quickly.
