Detailed Search Conditions

Tapping the filter button opens the “Search conditions” window.

The search conditions window

The items you can set vary by tab.

TabItems you can set
Quick PostTags
Route ArticleTags / sort order
Gadget InfoSort order / gadget category
UsersSort order

Use “Reset conditions” at the bottom to clear, and “Search” to apply.

In the “Tags” field, you can narrow posts down by tag name. It is available for quick posts and route articles, letting you search only for posts with a specific tag. Since tags can be added freely on the posting side, just entering a theme you’re interested in (for example, “road bike” or “camping touring”) finds them all together.

The Gadget Info and Users tabs do not have a tag field. Gadget info is narrowed down by gadget category.

How It Looks When Detailed Search Is Active

When you have set a filter such as tags or sort order, the filter icon switches to a filled style, so you can see at a glance that a filter is currently in effect.
