Search gets even better
Introducing search codes!

Now you can restrict a search term to a specific field. For instance, if you're looking for "House" fic, you'd normally get every listing that has "house" somewhere in it--summary, title, etc. With the new search codes, you pull up only those listings that have "House" in the fandom field. It's easy! Here's how:

f:house

The "f:" bit is the search code. There are seven field codes available, and they're listed at the end of this post.

But first, there are a few small things you need to know about search codes.

1) You can mix search-coded terms with nonsearch-coded terms:

f:house +cane
f:potc "black pearl"

2) You can mix search-coded terms with search-coded terms:

f:house t:cane
f:lotrps p:Dom

3) If you have a search term that's two or more words, use multiple field codes instead of quotation marks.

f:boston f:legal

4) Make sure you put the search code right up against your search term.

wrong: f: house
wrong: f : house
wrong: f :house
right: f:house

5) There's no need to use a plus sign in front of a search code (+f:house) because the search code automatically requires that that term be in all the search results.

6) A minus sign in front of a search code will be ignored.

Here are the codes:

Code Description Example
a: Author a:heidi
f: Fandom f:house
c: Character c:Shizune
p: Pairing p:Dom
t: Tag t:cane
g: Genre g:horror
s: Status - either WIP or complete. You can use "w" or "c" as shorthand. s:c
