Search options

If no search option is specified, it becomes AND-Standard search (same as specifying "/and /text /m2").
Search options affect only the immediately following search words.
Search options are not case sensitive.

Conjunction Options

Name	Description
/and	AND search (default)
/or	OR search
/not	NOT search

Property Options

Name	Description	Supplement
/text	Text (default)	String. File or page name.
/date	Date and Time	DateTime. Date of last update. For history, last viewed date.
/size	Size	Numerals. File size
/bookmark	Bookmarked	Filter. Valid in the Bookshelf, History, and Bookmarks panels.
/history	History registered	Filter. Valid in the Bookshelf, History, and Bookmarks panels.
/playlist	Playlist registered	Filter. Valid in the PageList panel.

/comments	Comments	String. Page information. Valid in the PageList panel.
/p.meta.[key]	Meta information	String. Page information. Valid in the PageList panel. See "Meta Information" section for details.

Match Options

Name	Description	Supplement
/m0, /exact	ExactMatch	"Same as enclosing with double quotes"
/m1, /word	WordMatch	Since we identify words by kind of letters, accuracy is not very good.
/m2, /fuzzy	Standard (default)
/re	RegularExpression	.NET Regular Expression
/ire	RegularExpression / IgnoreCase	Perform regular expression search without case sensitivity.
/since	DateTime / Since	After specified date
/until	DateTime / Until	Before specified date
/lt	Comparison operation / less than	Comparison operations work properly with sizes, dates, etc.
/le	Comparison operation / less than equal
/eq	Comparison operation / equal
/ne	Comparison operation / not equal
/ge	Comparison operation / grater than equal
/gt	Comparison operation / grater than

In case of Standard search or WordMatch search, it becomes ambiguous search as follows.

(Japanese) Halfwidth and double-byte are not distinguished.
(Japanese) It does not distinguish between Hiragana and Katakana. In case of WordMatch search, we will distinguish.
We do not distinguish capital letters and lower case letters of alphanumeric characters.
Ignore the leading "0" for numbers. (Example: "2015-2-4" and "2015-02-04" are not distinguished)
UNICODE normalization (NFKC).

DateTime format

Normally, it is specified in the form "2019-04-01". Because .NET date and time parsing is used, you can specify other formats.

Note: The date designation "2019-04-01" is interpreted as "2019-04-01 00:00:00", so "/until 2019-04-01" does not include April 1.

You can also specify relative date and time in the format "-12day", "-6month" and "-1year". "/since -5day" means "within the past 5 days".

Numeric format

Supports integers.

It also supports k, K, g, G, m, and M unit notations. Lowercase letters are multiplied by 1000, and uppercase letters are multiplied by 1024.

Details

The previous options are aliased and simplified. Detailed definitions are given here.

Search unit

The basic unit of search is the following set

Conjunction option(/c.) | Property option(/p.) | Match option(/m.) | Keyword

A string that does not begin with a "/" is a keyword, and this set is determined when it appears. Options not previously specified will use default values, and duplicate category options will be overwritten.

Options

Options are categorized by prefix character.

Conjunction options (/c.)

Name	Description
/c.and	AND search (default)
/c.or	OR search
/c.not	NOT search

Property Options (/p.)

Name	Description	Type
/p.text	Text (default)	String
/p.date	Date and Time	DateTime
/p.size	Size	Integer
/p.bookmark	Bookmarked	Boolean
/p.history	History registered	Boolean
/p.playlist	Playlist registered	Boolean
/p.rating	Meta Information: Rating	Integer
/p.meta.[key]	Meta Information. See "Meta Information" section for details.	String

Match options (/m.)

Name	Description	Type
/m.exact	ExactMatch	String
/m.word	WordMatch	String
/m.fuzzy	FuzzyMatch (default)	String
/m.re	RegularExpression	String
/m.ire	RegularExpression / IgnoreCase	String
/m.lt	Comparison operation / less than	Type of property option
/m.le	Comparison operation / less than equal	Type of property option
/m.eq	Comparison operation / equal	Type of property option
/m.ne	Comparison operation / not equal	Type of property option
/m.ge	Comparison operation / grater than equal	Type of property option
/m.gt	Comparison operation / grater than	Type of property option

The property and conforming options determine the type of value used for comparison, which is then converted to that type before the conformance check is performed.

The following example performs a date/time comparison as a DateTime type.

/p.date /m.lt

The following example compares the date and time as a string.

/p.date /m.fuzzy

Alias

Options have aliases defined for ease of use, and in some cases are expanded into multiple options.

/or	/c.or
/not	/c.not
/text	/p.text
/re	/m.re

/comments	/p.meta.comments

Meta Information

Meta information is the information displayed in the "Information Panel".

The meta information search is specified in the following format. Specify the name of the meta information item in [key]. The resulting value is a string equivalent to the one displayed.

/p.meta.[key]

It may take some time to get results when the number of pages is large because the files are read to retrieve meta information.
