Modifier Guide

Modifiers (or modifier tags) are special tags you can use in Search which change the behaviour of the search, such as making media match certain criteria, sorting the results in a different way, among others.

ℹ️

If you’re running an older version of Miboru, some of these modifiers may not exist in your version yet. You can install the latest version here.

Exclusion modifier

You can exclude all media with a specific tag simply by adding “-” (dash/minus) before a tag. For example, if you wanted to exclude all media with the tag “grass”, you can simply add “-grass” to your search.

Sorting modifiers

ℹ️

If you’d like, you can use order: instead of sort:. It functions in the same way.

sort:date_asc: Sorts all media by date in an ascending order (oldest-to-newest). The default sorting method is the opposite of this (newest-to-oldest).

Filter modifiers

ext:[extension]: Returns any result with the given file extension, where [extension] is the file extension. This should not include the dot. For example, if you wanted to find all media with the .png file extension (regardless if they’re actually PNG files or not), you could use ext:png.

ℹ️

Files that end in .jpeg will automatically be saved with the extension .jpg, not .jpeg. Trying to find anything with ext:jpeg will not work.

mime:[mime]: Returns any result with the given MIME type, where [mime] is the MIME type. The MIME type is not the same as the file extension, an example would be “image/png”. You can find the MIME type of any of your media by selecting an item and looking at the “MIME type” attribute.
id:[id]: Returns the result with the given ID, where [id] is the ID. This will always return one result.
title:[title]: Returns the result with the given title, where [title] is the title. This modifier is case-sensitive, it needs to match the title exactly. This can return multiple results, if they have the exact same title.
