Tag Searching
Searching is largely based on tags, with a number of special keywords available that allow searching based on properties of the posts.
tag_nameReturns posts that are tagged with "tag_name".
tag_name other_tag_nameReturns posts that are tagged with "tag_name" and "other_tag_name".
Most tags and keywords can be prefaced with a negative sign (-) to indicate that you want to search for posts that do not match something.
-tag_nameReturns posts that are not tagged with "tagname".
-tag_name -other_tag_nameReturns posts that are not tagged with "tag_name" or "other_tag_name".
tag_name -other_tag_nameReturns posts that are tagged with "tag_name", but are not tagged with "other_tag_name".
Wildcard searches are possible as well using *.
tag*Returns posts that are tagged with "tag", "tags", "tagme", "tag_name", or anything else that starts with "tag".
*nameReturns posts that are tagged with "name", "tag_name", "other_tag_name" or anything else that ends with "name".
Comparing values (<, <=, >, >=, or =)
For example, you can use this to count tags.

Supported suffixes are kb, mb, and gb. Uses multiples of 1024.
