This HowTo runs through the possible filters when searching in Wikidot's site search. There may be many more to be discovered… but without official documentation, I'm unsure of all the possibilities!
| Search Filter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Basic Search | |
| Here are some basic searching filters: | |
| search | Displays results with the exact match "search" |
| "search phrase" | Displays results with the exact match "search phrase" |
| search phrase | Prioritises results with the both words "search" and "phrase" followed by pages with either search words |
| Objective Filters | |
| You can also filter by title, category, "since", "till", author and tags | |
| title:Wikidot | Prioritises results with the word Wikidot in the title |
| title:"Wikidot Rocks!" | Prioritises results with the string Wikidot Rocks! in the title |
| category:howto | Displays results to only display pages from the howto category |
| category:howto,app | Displays results to only display pages from the howto and app categories |
| since:yyyy-mm-dd | todo. |
| till:yyyy-mm-dd | todo. |
| user:author-name | todo. |
| tags:onetag | Displays results with the tag onetag |
| tags:onetag,twotag | Prioritises results with both tags followed by the pages with either tags |
| Precision Filters | |
| Use additional search terms to further refine your results | |
| +search +phrase | Displays results with both "search" and "phrase" |
| +title:Wikidot +title:Rox | Displays results with both "Wikidot" and "Rox" |
| +category:howto +category:app | identical to category:howto,app |
| +tags:onetag +tags:twotag | Displays results with both tags |
| NOT tags:onetag | Displays results without the onetag tag. |
