Better Danbooru Artist Search

Makes the Danbooru artist search more convenient by automatically fixing URLs and navigating to the artist's wiki page if it's unquestionable that the search query links to said artist.

Recommended to be used in conjunction with the Danbooru artist search engine in the Chrome omnibox or the like.

Note: to add the search engine to the omnibox, copy the link above (or this one), right-click the omnibox, click Edit search engines..., scroll to the bottom of the prompt, enter a name for it, enter a trigger, paste the link into the rightmost box and click Finished.

With the search engine and this script, you can easily find the artist's tag on Danbooru by simply navigating to the omnibox/search bar, typing the trigger before the URL and hitting Enter.

Features:

  • Prepends the missing http:// protocol (thanks to browsers being 'User-friendly') to URL searches
  • Converts the new Pixiv URL form (which has since been deprecated) to the legacy form
  • Converts image URLs from Tumblr and Twitter to the artist page URL, since images may not be in the database yet but their artist might be
  • Converts mobile Twitter and Nico Seiga URLs (which aren't stored in the database) to their desktop counterparts (which are stored)
  • Converts Pixiv 'Artist's Works' pages (which aren't stored) to their profile pages (which are stored)
