[Guide]: Advanced use of Quick Search in Aurora 0.5b and later

Recommended Posts

What is this? well, it's a quick filter for the titles, it will filter using regex, what is regex you might ask? well, it's short for "Regular Expressions", they can be quite complicated, but very powerful when trying to find something specific.

Our implementation of this supports searching for upper/lower case or any combination of it, by default it's case insensitive

So, let's get started;

To do a search you Press X to open up the Quick Browse menu, from there you press X again to bring up the keyboard and start searching...

To search in a case-sensitive manner the first character has to be @

To search for titles starting with a specific thing you type in ^ at the start

To search for titles ending with a specific thing you type in $ at the end

To search for a group of possible values you group them in [] an example: [a-z] will search for anything with the letters a to z while [abcd] will search for anything containing the letters a, b, c or d

To search for any character within a word you can use: .

Some examples:

Search for anything starting with A: ^A

Search for anything containing the word "Call": Call

Search for anything starting with the letters B and O: ^BO

Search for anything ending with the word "Time": Time$

Search for anything starting with AD or AS: ^A[DS]

Search for anything containing the letters B and D with any character in between them: B.D
