Even though the character has been added to the database, his name "Rox" does not come up in the search results list. I'm trying to add his character to a comic book, but I have no way of getting his name to pop up on the list since there's no "next" option. Is his name too short? How can I add him when I can't find his name amongst the others?

12 most popular people with "Rox" in their name are listed.

if your "Rox" doesnt happen to be under that 12 then you can still see the full list by clicking "Search"

He's trying to add him to a comic as a list of characters that appear. That won't work.

@lovecraft13: This happened to me once and I just added an alias that would help it pop up, if he doesnt have any just make one up and they remove it

@Voidheart: Ha ha!!  Although, that kinda looks like something belongs to Rox.  Like "who owns this ruby quartz visor?" Answer: They're Cyclops' ;)

Anyway, the search box is a little funky.  It's a bit slow too.  Type a little slowly, or delete a few letters to let it catch up.  Also, it tends to root out the most popular pages first.  For instance, if you type a 'W' you get Wolverine, Wildstorm, Wonder Woman, Invisible Woman in that order... 

The problem with 'Rox' is that it is such a short name so all the popular pages with Roxy, Roxanne or any name with a Rox in it comes up first.  Annnnnnd.... new pages tend to take a little while for the database to register it in a search, but they do appear after a while :)

I've also found at times, that simply pushing the spacebar after you type in______ whatever will give you what your after.

Too bad there isn't an option to scroll is a second list, or simply tweak it to include an alphabetical list instead of one ranked by popularity.

Adding an alias did the trick.
