Home → Search

Search is powerful way to find your movies. By default Clipstart will search filename, title, and tags to find your movies. It will also break down the results by tag so that they can be filtered again.

The following special search queries are supported for matching against specific criteria, in the format attribute=value:

• name. Match against the movie name.

• path. Match against any part of the full file path for the movie file.

• tags. Match against any tag.

• @tag. A special shortcut. Instead of tags=julian, you can just use @julian.

• date. Should be in the format 2009-05-01, or just the year.

• flagged. Show flagged movies only when set to "yes".

• uploaded. Show movies that have been uploaded when set to "yes".

• imported. Show movies all movies that have been imported ("yes") or specific ranges with one of the following values: today, week, month, year.

Here are some example queries based on the above formats:

• name=julian

• tags=birthday

• date=2009-05-01

• flagged=yes

• uploaded=yes

• imported=week

You can also combine any of these with boolean operators and parenthesis to group parts of the search:

• @birthday and flagged=yes

• name=christmas and (date=2007 or date=2008)
