type:: [[Feature]] platforms:: [[All Platforms]] description:: Build [[Queries]] easily with filters and nested operators

• Usage

  • You can try this feature right here!
    • {{query }}
  • Click on the + button to add a query operator or a query filter.
  • Select a filter like page reference to get a dropdown of valid values for it.
  • After selecting a filter value, you'll see results immediately. You can select an additional filter to filter results even further.
  • You can also select an operator either with + or by clicking on the filter label and selecting an operator to wrap the filter with.

• Functionality

  • There are two types of queries - blocks and pages. The default is to query by blocks. To change to a pages search, click on the upper right dropdown. This decision has to be made when the query is empty since some operators only work for one type of search.
  • Filters can have different interfaces since they have different abilities. Some filters like page reference are a single choice dropdown while other filters like task are multiple choice dropdowns. Filters like property can also have multiple dropdowns, first to choose the property name and then a value. Note that Select all is a special value that selects all values for the property.
  • Any filter or operator can be clicked to have the option of deleting it, replacing it or wrapping it with an operator.
