Is is possible to use search operators on Lemmy search like on Google or a typical search engine, or add support to it? - Lemmy.world

Like this (add some suggestions and additions in the comments however you want): - "Hello" - Returns results with only the word “hello” - "Hello World" - Returns results with only the phrase “hello world” -------- - case:on - enable case sensitive search - nsfw:no - Do not show NSFW posts - nsfw:yes - Show only NSFW posts ------ * community:<[email protected]> - If instance.com is not provided, it returns the search results from a community from the current instance. Otherwise, it returns the community from the hosted instance: e.g: community:[email protected] * instance:instance.com - returns results from a specific instance. * If instance:instance.com community:community, then search community from that specified instance. * before:yyyy-mm-dd - Returns results from before a date. * after:yyyy-mm-dd - Returns results from after a date. ------ - “-” before a phrase, keyword, community:[email protected], instance:instance.com, Excludes them from the results. Phrases like “hello world” should have the dash prefixed like this: -"hello world". Examples: - For words and phrases: - cyberpunk -2077 - Returns post/comments with the keyword “cyberpunk” but not “2077” - -"hello world" Removes posts/comments containing “hello world” from the search results - For communities: -community:hello, -community:[email protected] - For instances: -instance:my.instance.com ------- About brackets in community:, instance: - Used to select multiple communities and instances (separated with a comma or semicolon), for example - community:{[email protected],[email protected]} hello -world - Returns search results only from communities [email protected] and [email protected] with the keyword “hello” and exclude world from post/comment results - -instance:{instance1.com,instance2.com,instance3.nft} community:{[email protected]} hello -world - Exclude instances instance1.com, instance2.com, instance3.nft, show post/comments from community [email protected]. Exclude posts/comments containing “world”. ------- Here is my example usage: -------- Say you want to search [email protected] for "hello world": community:[email protected] "hello world" Shows results from [email protected] with only the phrase "hello world"

I’ve been talking with the devs of various 3rd party apps to see about getting it added there. I’ll eventually reach out to the Lemmy devs themselves once they aren’t as busy.

Lemmy Search

Did you receive any feedback on this? I can’t seem to use search properly and can’t find what the syntax is.
