Data Filtering Examples

Note: the explorer uses a simplified Python syntax for expressing data filtering criteria.

'S_\' in id	Find items that contains 'S_' in its id
'arch' in docname	Find items defined in specific file that contains keyword 'arch' (case sensitive)
'architecture/architecture-needs'==docname	Find items defined in specific file
status in ['open','closed']	Find open or closed items
(status=='open' && (type in ['req'])) || ('arch' in docname)	A complex expression that incorporates techniques from the previous examples.
tags!=[] && title ~ /techn/i #case insensitive match	RegEx case insensitive match
title ~ /^Level[ \t]+(?=one)/	RegEx positive lookaheads
title ~ /^Level[ \t]+(?!one)/	RegEx negative lookaheads
type=='test' && outgoing==[]	Find test which are not linked yet
type != 'test' && incoming==[]	Find items with no incoming links
