Searching Articles

Worldbuilder provides multiple search bars where you can search for articles or tags.
Most tabs of the main application have a search bar at the top. This search bar allows for searches of that article type or tag.

Searching by Name

The default search functionality is to search by name. If you enter a search term into the search bar it will filter the articles so only articles that contain that term will be displayed.
Each separate word is a separate search term, so you will get results if any of the words match. You can force multi-word search terms using quotation marks ".
Search terms are case-insensitive.

Examples:
Searching t will result in all articles that contain "t" in their name.
Searching tavern will result in all articles that contain "tavern" in their name.
Searching the old tavern will result in articles that contain "the", "old" or "tavern" in their name.
Searching "the old tavern" will result in articles that contain "the old tavern" in their name.

Searching by Tag

You can search for articles that have a certain tag.
The search terms will take the form tag:(tag), where (tag) is the name of the tag.
You can search for multiple tags at the same time using tag:[(tag1) (tag2)]. This is essentially the same as tag:(tag1) tag:(tag2).
The tag name search term is similar to searching by name, except that they have to match exactly (but still case-insensitive).

Examples:
Searching tag:house will result in all articles that have the "house" tag.
Searching tag:"house lenora" will result in articles that have the "house lenora" tag.
Searching tag:[house "house lenora"] will result in articles that have the "house" or "house lenora" tag.

Wrong examples:
Searching tag:hou will not result in articles that have the "house" tag, articles that have the "hou" tag.
Searching tag:house lenora will not result in articles that have the "house lenora" tag, but articles that either have the "house" tag or have "lenora" in their name.

Searching by Sidebar Option

Sidebar options are the configurable settings in the sidebar of articles.
You can search for articles that have a specific sidebar option.
This is very similar to searching by tag, except that you replace tag: with (option):.

Examples:
Searching race:elf will result in all articles that have the "race" option set to "elf".
Searching type:"player character" will result in all articles that have the "type" option set to "player character".
Searching groups:[party "house lenora"] will result in all articles that have the "groups" option set to "party" or "house lenora".

Combining Search Terms

You can combine multiple search terms. Articles will be searched for if any of the search terms apply. It is currently not possible to search for articles where all terms apply.

Examples:
Searching Carac tag:pc groups:party will result in all articles that have either "Carac" in their name, the "pc" tag, or the "groups" option set to "party".
