searches from scratchdb use a pretty neat format.
each requirement is in the format +requirement:"value",
if you don't include a requirement it's assumed you mean content
prefix a requirement with + to require it to be true,
- to require it to be false and ~ if it
should be true, but is not required
| Requirement | What it does |
|---|---|
| username | requires that the resulting posts be by a certain user |
| category | requires that the resulting posts be in a category (this does not have to be complete, +category:"Advanced" will match Advanced Topics) |
| topic | requires that the resulting posts be from a topic with the id |
| title | requires that the resulting posts be from a topic with a topic title (this does not have to be complete, +title:"help" will match anything with help in the title.) |
| id | requires that the resulting post has an id |
| content | requires that the resulting posts have this in their content |
| closed | specifies whether the containing topics are closed. use "1" to only get posts in topics that are closed, and "0" to get posts only in topics that are open |
| status | requires the poster to be a member of the matching group (for example, +status:"Scratch Team" returns only posts from the scratch team) |
/user/:username will show posts by the user
/topic/:topic will show posts in a topic by id
/post/:post will show a single post by id
