<h1>General search syntax</h1>
<p>Search queries are built of tokens that are separated by spaces. Each token
can be of following form:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Syntax</th>
<th>Token type</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><code><value></code></td>
<td>anonymous tokens</td>
<td>basic filters</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code><key>:<value></code></td>
<td>named tokens</td>
<td>advanced filters</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>order:<style></code></td>
<td>order tokens</td>
<td>sort results</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>special:<value></code></td>
<td>special tokens</td>
<td>filters usually tied to the logged in user</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Most of anonymous and named tokens support ranged and composite values that
take following form:</p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><code>a,b,c</code></td>
<td>will show things that satisfy either <code>a</code>,
<code>b</code> or <code>c</code>.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>1..</code></td>
<td>will show things that are equal to or greater than 1.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>..4</code></td>
<td>will show things that are equal to at most 4.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>1..4</code></td>
<td>will show things that are equal to 1, 2, 3 or 4.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Date/time values can be of following form:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>today</code></li>
<li><code>yesterday</code></li>
<li><code><year></code></li>
<li><code><year>-<month></code></li>
<li><code><year>-<month>-<day></code></li>
</ul>
<p>Some fields, such as user names, can take wildcards (<code>*</code>).</p>
<p>All tokens can be negated by prepending them with <code>-</code>.</p>
<p>Order token values can be appended with <code>,asc</code> or
<code>,desc</code> to control the sort direction, which can be also controlled
by negating the whole token.</p>
<h1>Example</h1>
<p>Searching for posts with following query:</p>
<pre><code>sea -fav-count:8.. type:swf uploader:Pirate</code></pre>
<p>will show flash files tagged as sea, that were liked by seven people at
most, uploaded by user Pirate.</p>
