Search

Search almost works like you know from Google's web search i.e. you can enter words separated by blanks and they will be searched for with AND concatenation. For example, searching for [white house] (the [] braces in this documentation stand for the input field) will find all entries that contain both the words house and white. The search is case and diacritic insensitive, that means you could also have written [wHITE Höüse].

If you have some phrase you are looking for you may want to encapsulate it in quotes like ["white house"], which will find entries that contain the word white directly followed by house.

To exclude expressions you don't like to have included put a minus ahead like [house -white], which finds only entries that countain house but not white.

If you are just looking for info in certain fields you can prepend an indicator, like [a:obama] which will find all entries that have been authored by obama. Please not that you may not use whitespaces between the indicator and the word!

So currently supported are (the underlined portions are the minimal required chars):

• author for author
• title for title
• tag for tag

If you add an * to your search string it will be handled as a wildcard, that means if you want to search only for entries that start with white you can write white*. This is espacially useful if you are searching for tags.

An alternative way to search for tags is to use # as the prefix e.g. [#food].

A note about tags

Tags in the understanding of Favs are case insensitive and do not allow white space. To make white spaced labels work they will become converted to use a dash '-' instead. So for example if a document uses the tag White House you would use [#white-house] to search for it.

Magic Flags

The following flags kan be set to filter the results even more:

• /all for all entries
• /archived or /deleted for archived entries
• /unread or /new for unread entries
