The User Interface's "Search" box accepts a space-separated list of predicates of the form "[-]operator:value[:value]". These predicates are combined using conjunction. That is to say we only have 'and' and atom negation for now. Negation of a predicate is achieved by prepending a minus sign: -is:landscape will match with pictures of not landscape ratio. For example after:"2010-01-01" before:"2010-03-02T12:33:44" -loc:"Amsterdam" will return all images having "modtime" between before and after and not in Amsterdam. When you need to match a value containing a space, you need to using double quotes around the value only. For example: tag:"Three word tagname" and not "tag:Three word tagname". If your value contains double quotes you can use backslash escaping. For example: attr:bar:"He said: \"Hi\"" Usable operators: after: date format is RFC3339, but can be shortened as required. before: i.e. 2011-01-01 is Jan 1 of year 2011 and "2011" means the same. attr: match on attribute. Use attr:foo:bar to match nodes having their foo attribute set to bar. format: file's format (or MIME-type) such as jpg, pdf, tiff. has:location image has a location (GPSLatitude and GPSLongitude can be retrieved from the image's EXIF tags). loc: uses the EXIF GPS fields to match images having a location near the specified location. Locations are resolved using maps.googleapis.com. For example: loc:"new york, new york" is:image object is an image is:landscape the image has a landscape aspect is:pano the image's aspect ratio is over 2 - panorama picture. is:portrait the image has a portrait aspect. height: use height:min-max to match images having a height of at least min and at most max. Use height:min- to specify only an underbound and height:-max to specify only an upperbound. Exact matches should use height:640-640 tag: match on a tag width: use width:min-max to match images having a width of at least min and at most max. Use width:min- to specify only an underbound and width:-max to specify only an upperbound. Exact matches should use width:480-480 childrenof: Find child permanodes of a parent permanode (or prefix of a parent permanode): childrenof:sha1-527cf12
