You can narrow down your search results by adding simple parameters to your search query. Type your keywords, then add parameters like from:, type:, or ext: in any order. You can also combine multiple values using commas.
Example:
my file from:me,friend1 type:video
available search parameters
from: which account you’re searching files from
values: me, shares, all, or your friends’ usernames
example: my file from:me,friend1,friend2
type: to filter by file type
values: directory, folder, file, audio, video, image, archive, pdf, text, swf
example: my file type:image
ext: to filter by file extension
values: mp3, mp4, png, mkv, torrent, or any other extension
example: my file ext:png
in: to search inside specific folders
values: folder IDs (not names), ignored if not an integer (or 0)
example: my file in:12345678 type:image
things to be aware of
If a parameter is incomplete (for example, in: or type: while still typing), it is ignored.
Spaces after : are not supported. For example, in:123 works, but in: 123 is treated as plain text.
Words longer than 20 characters are matched using their first 20 characters.
exact search
Putting text inside quotation marks (" ") turns off fuzzy matching (typos or close matches).
some important things to know:
If any part of your search is inside quotes, fuzzy matching is disabled for the entire query.
Exact search does not mean words must be next to each other.
"abc def" and abc def can both match abc xxx def.
So, abc deg would only match if fuzzy search is enabled - so if there are no quotation marks in the query.
This means the following searches behave the same:
"abc" def = "abc def
