Gallery Searching

This guide can also be found in Happypanda Settings -> About -> Search Guide

Constraints

• " (quote), (whitespace)(unless in quotes), , (comma), : (semi-colon), [ (starting bracket) and ] (closing bracket) are ignored and not included in the search
• terms and namespaces are separated by (white space) (if not in quotes) and/or a , (comma)
• to include whitespace you must put the term in quotes: "this is a valid term"
• to exclude a term, prefix the term with a - (hyphen): -"i want to exclude this"

Searching

-> points where the terms will be searched

• term => show only galleries with term in them -> (title, artist, language, namespace & tags)
• -term => exclude all galleries with term in them -> (title, artist, language, namespace & tags)
• ns:term => show only galleries where term is in the ns namespace in them -> (namespace & tags)
• -ns:term => exclude all galleries where term is in the ns namespace in them -> (namespace & tags)
• ns:[term1, term2, ...] => equivalent to ns:term1, ns:term2
• -ns:[term1, term2, ...] => equivalent to -ns:term1, -ns:term2

Protips & warnings

• When grouping tags under the same namespace in brackets, excluding tags (-term) and including tags (term) can both be used:
  • ns:[term, -term1, term2, ...] -> equivalent to ns:term, -ns:term1, ns:term2
• ns:-term is NOT equivalent to -ns:term
• You can enchance your search with regex. Regex can be used anywhere in your search terms
• Clicking on the search icon on the search bar will give you more options to search with

Special namespaced tags

They work just like normal namespaced tags, meaning that the constraints above also apply to them!

• Reserved means that it shouldn't be used on your galleries. It won't be searched for in your gallery.
• Operator means that less than < and greater than > are supported. They should be used just like the exclude operator -. E.g.: ns:<term or ns:>[term1, term2].
• term means... well, your term.. what you want to search for.. any kind of characters not in Constraints above
• integer means that only numbers are allowed
• date means a date format. Most (if not all) date formats are supported (try it out yourself)
