Search syntax
Community search accepts plain words, and also a small filter vocabulary for narrowing results. Filters can be combined with each other and with free text.
neon city user:alice type:video order:likes
That reads as: posts matching “neon city”, by alice, that are videos, most
liked first.
Filters
| Filter | Example | Matches |
|---|---|---|
rating: | rating:safe | SFW posts (safe, sfw, general) or adult (adult, nsfw, explicit) |
type: | type:video | image, video or audio |
category: | category:fitness | posts in a community category |
user: | user:alice | posts by that creator |
order: | order:likes | likes, views, clones, recreates, newest, oldest |
likes: | likes:>100 | like count (see ranges below) |
views: | views:5..50 | view count |
recreates: | recreates:>0 | times the post has been recreated |
clones: | clones:none | clone count |
Count ranges
The four count filters accept more than a plain number:
| Written as | Means |
|---|---|
likes:100 | exactly 100 |
likes:>100 | more than 100 |
likes:>=100 | 100 or more |
likes:<10 | fewer than 10 |
likes:5..50 | between 5 and 50 |
likes:5...50 | 5 up to but not including 50 |
likes:5,10,20 | any of those values |
likes:any | has at least one |
likes:none | has none |
Excluding things
Put - in front of a filter to exclude it:
sunset -type:video
…finds sunsets that are not videos.
Two things worth knowing
Filters only ever narrow. They cannot widen what you are allowed to see.
rating:adult does not reveal adult posts to an account that is not eligible
for them, and user:someone does not surface a post from a creator you have
blocked. Every filter is applied on top of the same permission check that
governs ordinary browsing, so the most a filter can do is show you fewer of the
things you could already see.
Unknown filters are treated as words. If you type colour:blue, colour is
not a filter, so the whole thing is searched as text rather than silently
ignored or rejected.
Sorting
order: sorts the results. Without free text — for example a bare
rating:safe user:alice — sorting is applied across every matching post. When
you also search for words, results are ranked by relevance first and order:
sorts within that set, so you get the most-liked among the best matches rather
than the most-liked overall.
