Search your posts
Find posts by their words, combine words with OR and minus, and save a search.
Search
Type in Search your posts at the top of the sidebar, or press / to jump there, and press Enter. The results are your queue narrowed to the posts that match, newest first, and Show still narrows them to unread or read.
A search reads each post's title, summary and author, which is what the feed gave. It does not read the article behind the link.
Combine words
| Type | Finds |
|---|---|
rust release | Posts holding every word. |
"release notes" | Posts holding the phrase, as written. |
rust OR go | Posts holding either word. |
apple -iphone | Posts holding apple and not iphone. |
apple NOT iphone | The same as the minus. |
"OR" | The word OR itself, quoted so it is not an operator. |
OR, AND and NOT work as operators when written in capitals. A search takes up to 8 words and 256 characters.
