Search Bar/Legacy: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 22:47, 30 March 2024

This article describes how the search system in the Flashpoint Launcher works.

Flashpoint uses docopt parsing: ([-][[(no|not|missing|is|has|<field>):]|[@|#|!]](<phrase>|"<phrase>"))...
A search query can contain any number of phrases (tag:Arcade platform:Flash jump run)
Phrases containing spaces must be wrapped in quotes or will count as separate parameters (developer:"Tom Fulp")
Searches are not case sensitive, can have incomplete names (except tags) and a name backwards (both nana cr and CRASH NANACA will find NANACA†CRASH!!)
Phrases without metadata prefixes are matched against a curation's Title, Alternate Titles, Developer and Publisher. The phrase only has to match one of these fields for the game to be included.
Searches inside playlists do not currently work.

Prefix	Example
title:	`title:Bowman`
alternateTitles:	`alternateTitles:II`
series:	`series:Sonny`
developer:	`developer:Devname`
publisher:	`publisher:Newgrounds`
playMode:	`playMode:"Single Player"`
status:	`status:Partial`
releaseDate:	`releaseDate:2010-01`
version:	`version:2.0`
language:	`language:pt`
tag:	`tag:Toy`
source:	`source:deviantart.com`
platform:	`platform:Flash`
applicationPath:	`applicationPath:FPNavigator`
launchCommand:	`launchCommand:localflash`
notes:	`notes:Extras`
originalDescription:	`originalDescription:ninja`
id:	`id:cdeb30c5`

broken: and activeDataOnDisk: are special cases since their values are boolean; for example, broken: without a phrase will display games that are not broken in Infinity while broken:1 (or any other phrase) will search the opposite. You still must enable broken in Infinity (for Infinity users) games in the Launcher to see these. activeDataOnDisk: can be used to filter by GameZIPs.
In 9.0 and prior, extreme: was a boolean value for extreme games; You still must enable extreme games in the Launcher to see these. There is no current replacement.

Prefix	Explanation	Example
-	Excludes a parameter from the search when used before other prefixes.	`-tag:Soccer`
no:	The field that matches the phrase must be false or empty. `not:` and `missing:` have the same purpose.	`no:releaseDate`
has:	The field that matches the phrase must be true or not empty. `is:` has the same purpose.	`is:extreme`
@	Short-hand for `developer:`.	`@Devname`
#	Short-hand for `tag:`.	`#Shooter`
!	Short-hand for `platform:`.	`!Unity`
