Seem to work fine for me.
Things like source:*C83* or source:*touhou* don't work though. There's no enforced standard for titles in source fields either, so searching just source:C83* doesn't work when everyone uses a different title format:
- Touhou - Suwakoto! [C83] (sakana (ryuusui-tei))
- Touhou - Vermilion supplementary booklet at C83 (warugaki (sk-ii))
- Touhou - C85 comic [sample] (Bomber Grape)
- (C84) [Tohonifun (Chado)] Ijin-san ni Tsurerarete (Touhou Project)
Besides, searching by source is not the only reason the source field exists. It exists to tell people what the image is from.
We're a search engine. That information should be in a form where it can be easily searched.
It'd be like if we just listed copyrights in a text field on the post instead of adding tags -- great, you know which series it's from, but good luck trying to search for more from that series.
That works if the doujin has a pool. But if just the cover or a single page is uploaded then a pool should not be created.
I see no problem with single post pools. They don't interfere with anything. It would let you search the pool index to find all doujins, even things that (currently) only have a cover page.
