## This information seems/is not accurate!

Also applies to these questions:

- You missed something on this entry!
- You missed this song/album on this artist/song list!
- You missed this song/artist on this album!

If you find something is wrong with the entries, you are welcome to contribute.

Firstly, you can create [an entry report](/docs/entry-reports). It is easy to do compared to editing an account and doesn't need an account. Keep tabs on the discussion section for the updates.

Secondly, you can create an account and start editing. This lets you fix the problem without requesting (by creating a report) and having to do a back-and-forth discussion in case edits are not what you expected. Check out [the quick guide for new editors](/docs/quick-guide-for-new-editors) as a start.

## Searching seems too slow!

The architecture of VocaDB is still limited. Please bear with us while improvements are being done behind the scenes.

Also, the search may take too long and time out. The current search UI doesn't notify you when it times out (we will fix this behavior in the future). Currently, a search can take up to 20 seconds. If you still see the loading UI after 20 seconds, try refreshing the page.

Some workarounds that you can use:

1. Do not use the Anything search category. Using the entry-specific search categories (Songs, Albums, Artists,...) is usually a lot faster. You can switch the search mode using the buttons on top of the filter box.

2. Replace spaces with underscores, especially in long text queries with common words. For example, search for "rule_the_world" instead of "rule the world." Note that this will search for exact matches, so "rules the world" isn't detected by "rule_the_world."

## Why is this song entry in VocaDB even though it has no Vocaloid?

Songs covered by 5 song entries with vocal synthesis are allowed in VocaDB. Songs included in an album with a vocal synthesis are also allowed.
