   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 ### Tag cloud
  18
  19 The `Tag cloud` page diplays a "cloud" view of all tags in your Shaarli.
  20
  21  * The most frequently used tags are displayed with a bigger font size.
  22  * When sorting by `Most used` or `Alphabetical`, tags are displayed as a _list_, along with counters and edit/delete buttons for each tag.
  23  * Clicking on any tag will display a list of all Shaares matching this tag.
  24  * Clicking on the counter next to a tag `example`, will filter the tag cloud to only display tags found in Shaares tagged `example`. Repeat this any number of times to further filter the tag cloud. Click `List all links with those tags` to display Shaares matching your current tag filter.

  26 ## Filtering RSS feeds/Picture wall
  27
  28 RSS feeds can also be restricted to only return items matching a text/tag search: see [RSS feeds](RSS-feeds).
  29
  30 ## Filter buttons
  31
  32 Filter buttons can be found at the top left of the link list. They allow you to apply different filters to the list:
  33
  34  * **Private links:** When this toggle button is enabled, only shaares set to `private` will be shown.
  35  * **Untagged links:** When the this toggle button is enabled (top left of the link list), only shaares _without any tags_ will be shown in the link list.
  36
  37 Filter buttons are only available when logged in.
