This article describes how the search system in the Flashpoint Launcher works.
Overview
- Flashpoint uses docopt parsing:
([-][[(no|not|missing|is|has|<field>):]|[@|#|!]](<phrase>|"<phrase>"))... - A search query can contain any number of phrases (
tag:arcade tag:platformer platform:flash jump run) - Phrases containing spaces must be wrapped in quotes or will count as separate parameters (
developer:"Firstname Lastname") - Searches are not case sensitive, can have incomplete names and have a phrase backwards (both
nana crandCRASH NANACAwill 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.

broken: (in Infinity) and extreme: are special cases since their values are boolean; for example, broken: (without a phrase) will display games that are not broken while broken:1 (or any other phrase) will search the opposite. You must still enable to see broken in Infinity (for Infinity users) and extreme games in the Launcher to see these.
