What advanced search operators does Filmot support, and where are they documented?
Searching Updated
Filmot supports keyword, Boolean, phrase and proximity operators in subtitle search and title expressions. Click the ? icon beside the search box to open the Search Syntax Cheat Sheet.
- Spaces: require all terms, though they need not be adjacent. Example:
CRISPR gene editing. Do not typeAND; it is treated as an ordinary search word. - OR, written as
|: match alternatives, such as"dark matter" | "dark energy". - Double quotes: match an exact ordered phrase, such as
"gravitational waves". - Parentheses: group conditions, such as
"stem cells" (therapy | treatment)or(CRISPR | "gene editing") ("sickle cell" | "cystic fibrosis"). "w1 w2"~N: match words near each other in any order, such as"vaccine efficacy"~5.NEAR/N: match nearby terms, phrases or groups, such as"black hole" NEAR/10 "event horizon".NOTNEAR/N: match the first term without the second nearby, such asradiation NOTNEAR/100 microwave. The maximum distance is 500.*inside a quoted phrase: stand for exactly one word, such as"basic * spectroscopy".-word: exclude every video containing that word, such asquantum -computing. A query containing only excluded terms is invalid.- Caption placeholders: search
#FUCK#for censored words, or sound labels such as#Laughter#,#Music#and#Applause#.
The same operators work in the Video Title field under subtitle-search filters and in the title box on Metadata search.
