Use a single search box to find projects by tags, people, places, dates, and more. This page shows you how the search grammar works, with examples you can copy and adapt.
Quick Start
- #tags —
#parks(exact),#park*(prefix match) - @users — prefix match:
@jo→ @john, @jordan - !locations — prefix match:
!van→ Vancouver… - near/geo — geocode or coordinates:
near:"Victoria, BC",near:"Victoria, BC"~10km,geo:48.4284,-123.3656~5mi - Filters —
rating:green,type:advanced,start:>=2025-08-01 - Sort —
sort:recent(default),sort:title,sort:distance - Free text — any other words must appear in the project title
Search Grammar
| What | Syntax | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Tags | #tag, #tag* |
#tag matches exactly. #tag* matches all tags beginning with tag. |
| Users | @name |
Prefix match on usernames. Typing @jo suggests @john, @jordan. |
| Locations | !place |
Prefix match on project location. Example: !van → Vancouver. |
| Near (geocode) | near:"Place", near:"Place"~10km |
Finds projects near a place name. Default radius is 25 km. Units: km, mi. |
| Geo (coordinates) | geo:lat,lon, geo:lat,lon~5mi |
Search near coordinates. Default radius 25 km if none given. |
| Rating | rating:green |
Filter by HueFlux sentiment (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, none). |
| Type | type:basic, type:2 |
Filter by workflow type (name or numeric code). |
| Dates |
start:>=YYYY-MM-DDend:YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DDcreated:=YYYY-MM-DD
|
Fields: start, end, created, updated.Ops: >, >=, <, <=, =.Use .. for ranges. = matches the whole day.
|
| Sort | sort:recent, sort:title, sort:distance |
Sort by recency (default), title, or distance from the first near:/geo:. |
| Free text | words | Any other words must appear in the project title. Multiple words are ANDed. |
#parks @alex near:"Victoria, BC" start:>=2025-08-01 rating:green sort:distance
Examples
#trail— projects tagged exactly “trail”.#art*— tags starting with “art”.@sam— users with handles starting with “sam”.!vanc— locations starting with “Vanc…”.near:"Nanaimo, BC"~15km— within 15 km of Nanaimo.geo:49.2827,-123.1207~3mi— around downtown Vancouver coords.rating:yellow type:advanced— filter by rating + type.start:>=2025-09-01 end:<=2025-12-31— projects in this time window.created:=2025-08-10— created on Aug 10, 2025.sort:title— alphabetically by title.
Autocomplete & Geo
@usernames: suggestions appear as you type (e.g., @jo).
near: geocodes place names. If a place can’t be found, search falls back to !location prefix matches.
Units: radii support km and mi. If none given, km is assumed.
Behavior & Results
- All filters combine with AND. Multiple
near:/geo:circles combine with OR. - Projects are de-duplicated across authors and collaborators.
- Pagination appears when results exceed a page.
- Searching only
@usermay show username suggestions even if no projects match.
Troubleshooting
- No results? Broaden tags (
#tag*), remove extra words, or increase the radius. - Place not found? Try
near:"City, Region"or usegeo:lat,lon. - Date issues? Format must be
YYYY-MM-DD. Use ranges like2025-01-01..2025-03-31.
For privacy and performance, results may be subject to rate limits and quality filters.
