   1 ## Plain text search
   2
   3 Use the `Search text` field to search in _any_ of the fields of all links (Title, URL, Description...)
   4
   5 **Exclude text/tags:** Use the `-` operator before a word or tag (example `-uninteresting`) to prevent entries containing (or tagged) `uninteresting` from showing up in the search results.
   6
   7 **Exact text search:** Use double-quotes (example `"exact search"`) to search for the exact expression.
   8
   9 Both exclude patterns and exact searches can be combined with normal searches (example `"exact search" term otherterm -notthis "very exact" stuff -notagain`)
  10
  11 ## Tags search
  12
  13 Use the `Filter by tags` field to restrict displayed links to entries tagged with one or multiple tags (use space to separate tags).
  14
  15 **Hidden tags:** Tags starting with a dot `.` (example `.secret`) are private. They can only be seen and searched when logged in.
  16
  17 Alternatively you can use the `Tag cloud` to discover all tags and click on any of them to display related links.
  18
  19 To search for links that are not tagged, enter `""` in the tag search field.

  21 ## Filtering RSS feeds/Picture wall
  22
  23 RSS feeds can also be restricted to only return items matching a text/tag search: see [RSS feeds](RSS feeds).
