The Advanced Search page lets you search by one or more categories, like author or title. You can combine search terms to find the particular file or files you want. Enter your search term(s) in the appropriate fields on the page. When you enter more than one search term, the result will be all files that match all of the terms (an AND search).
If you prefer to construct your own searches, you can use search directives in the general search box on the Files page. Enter a directive, a colon (:), and your search term with no spaces, like this:
tag:graphics
You may include as many directive:term pairs as you wish, but do separate each pair with spaces. You may use combinations of directives in the same search. To search for more than one value of the same directive, you need to enter the pairs separately. Here's an example that will find all files tagged with "graphics" and "vector":
tag:graphics tag:vector
Entering search terms with no directives in the general search box results in a search for that term or terms in all of the directives.
The supported search directives are:
The Tagpair and Ratepair directives allow you to search for a tag or rating with applied by a specific user ID. You can find a user's id by looking at the location bar of your browser when viewing their author page. For example:
tagpair:123/vector
ratepair:123/4
