Topic: Useful Search Ideas (also help me make this search work)

Posted under General

I thought to myself, "I want to make sure that all my faved pics have also been voted on" so I went and did a search like

http://e621.net/post?tags=-voted%3Aazazial+fav%3Aazazial

However, it seems to be returning results which I have already voted upon.

And now I ask you, gentle reader, what other sorts of useful searches can you think of or do? I'm looking for ideas with general applications. I don't really care about particular kink-related searches, only things like this which many people might go "Oooh... that is a pretty good idea. I should do that too!"

Isn't when you fave a post it automatically gets updated upvoted?

Edit: I meant upvoted

I think only privileged and higher work that way. Those of us who are just members only get to vote on an image only once. Privileged and higher get a vote when fav'ing and again when voting. One of the perks they get.

That is something you should probably ask aurali in a pm, every voted:... or faved:... needs to be programmed seperately and so do the -voted:... ones, which means they are entirely seperate functions. So those things don't work properly sometimes, it only gets worse if you use more than one at a time.

So asking her if -voted:... works properly is probably the fastest method to finding out if there is a problem.

With that said, you can trick the search by utilizing your blacklist.
Simply add the term you want to negate (in this case your voted:azazial) and put in on a new line in your blacklist, as this works exactly as a negated search, then search for the positiv terms, your fav:azazial.

To further refine it, you probably may want to use votedup:Azazial instead of the general voted.

And don't forget to take the voted:azazial off of your blacklist after you're done.
