Understanding the Search Syntax
Page filters
Searches are scoped to the currently selected page filter.
So, given the possible page filters
all ‧ private ‧ public ‧ unread ‧ untagged ‧ starred
If all is currently selected, the search includes all bookmarks
If private is currently selected, the search only includes private bookmarks, etc..
Combine Searches (AND)
Separate terms by a space.
For example, marathon race
Combine Searches (OR)
Put | between each search query.
For example, marathon|race
Exclude words from your search
Put - in front of a word you want to leave out.
For example, -car
Search for an exact match
Put a word or phrase inside quotes.
For example, "tallest building"
Search on a specific field
Put field: in front of the term, where field is one of the options below
