Description

Searching in anidex works, but as soon as you try to search with categories, it returns empty results. Selecting all tags doesn't help at all either.

Obviously sonarr & radarr aren't able to find anything because, AFAIK, it always uses categories when searching.

Note that this does not happen with other indexers, I'm only experiencing this issue with anidex.

Logged Error Messages

There are no errors. It just doesn't return results.

• Working anidex resultset (no categories selected):
  
• One category selected:
  
• All categories selected:
  
• Other indexers' search by category:

the anidex indexer needs to separate the categories in the query with a comma, like this:
https://anidex.info/?q=best+friends&s=upload_timestamp&o=desc&group=0&id=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16
which returns result.

ATM the anidex indexer is encoding the comma as %2C and this generates a query like:
q=best+friends&s=upload_timestamp&o=desc&group=0&id=1%2C2%2C3%2C4%2C5%2C6%2C7%2C8%2C9%2C10%2C11%2C12%2C13%2C14%2C15%2C16
which returns

Working in browser:

• https://anidex.info/?q=best+friends&s=upload_timestamp&o=desc&group=0&id=1%2C2%2C3%2C4%2C5%2C6%2C7%2C8%2C9%2C10%2C11%2C12%2C13%2C14%2C16%2C15
  (change id order)
• https://anidex.info/?q=best+friends&s=upload_timestamp&o=desc&group=0&id=1%2C2%2C3%2C4%2C5%2C6%2C7%2C8%2C9%2C10%2C11%2C12%2C13%2C14%2C%2C15%2C16
  (extra %2C - doesn't work at the start of end of id string)

Same workarounds as before work in browser:

current (blocked) - https://anidex.info/?q=2020+720p&s=upload_timestamp&o=desc&group=0&id=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16

extra comma - https://anidex.info/?q=2020+720p&s=upload_timestamp&o=desc&group=0&id=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,,15,16

switch order - https://anidex.info/?q=2020+720p&s=upload_timestamp&o=desc&group=0&id=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,16,15
