- Locate a fic tagged with that character, and click the tag.
- You will be shown other works tagged with that character. At the top of the page, where it says "Works in [Character Tag]", click the character tag.
- You will be taken to an information page with a section titled either 'Mergers' or 'Subtags'. If it's mergers, click the listed synonym and follow the next directions. If it's subtags, click the subtag that matches the character you're thinking of.
- The next information page lists various tags associated with the character you clicked. If it seems to be the correct character (you can verify this by clicking 'Works' near the top-right), copy and paste the tag into our character search exactly as it appears.
- You can now press add (even if the suggestion doesn't appear), and it should find the character. If it doesn't that's a bug, and you can contact the webmistress to get it fixed :)
