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 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 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.
- Searches inside playlists do not currently work.

broken:andactiveDataOnDisk:are special cases since their values are boolean; for example,broken:without a phrase will display games that are not broken in Infinity whilebroken: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. - In 12.0 and up, the launch command and application path search only apply to non-zipped games. There is no current replacement.
