在过去的十年里,Reddit已经从一个简单的Digg 竞争对手(Digg competitor)变成了互联网大部分论坛和聊天社区的完全替代品。
如今,它拥有超过 2600 万活跃用户,是首选的社交新闻和讨论平台(news and discussion platform)。如果您不使用(t use) Reddit,您将错过大量突发信息和一些非常有趣的对话。
好消息是,如果您最近才加入Reddit,则有数百万条积压的帖子供您搜索!想知道开始生(Want)酮饮食(keto diet)的技巧吗?Reddit有他们。需要有关哪种信用卡(credit card)是青少年最佳选择的信息?
Reddit可以提供帮助。但是,要准确找到您要查找的内容,您需要了解一些技巧。
在本文中,让我们回顾一下 Reddit 的高级搜索运算符,并学习如何像专业人士一样浏览 Reddit 的搜索。
Reddit 的关键字搜索运算符
Reddit 的关键字搜索(keyword search)运算符使用术语来告诉文本如何过滤结果。使用它们是将搜索范围缩小到所需内容的最先进方法。目前有九个,如下所示。
标题
“title ”搜索(” search)运算符将结果限制为在标题中找到其后文本(如果超过一个单词,则需要引号)的帖子。这可以用作查找有关特定主题的整个线程的方法。
作者
“作者”搜索(” search)运算符将结果限制为特定用户发布的帖子。这不区分大小写。
自文本
“selftext ”搜索(” search)运算符将结果限制为在正文中找到其后的文本(如果超过一个单词,则需要引号)的自我发布。这有时会在与多个单词一起使用时表现得很奇怪,即使用引号括起来。
网址
“url ”搜索(” search)运算符将结果限制为链接包含其后确切URL的帖子。(URL)这有时会返回一小部分与URL不(URL)匹配(t match)的链接帖子。
地点
“站点”搜索(” search)运算符将结果限制为包含属于特定域名(domain name)的 URL 的链接帖子。
- 示例:(Example:) site:online-tech-tips.com
nsfw
“nsfw”搜索运算符(search operator)允许您切换显示(使用“yes”或“1”)或隐藏(使用“no”或“0”)NSFW帖子。
自己
“self ”搜索(” search)运算符允许您切换显示(使用“yes”或“1”)或隐藏(使用“no”或“0”)自我帖子。
- 示例:(Example:) 自我:是(self:yes)
子版块
“subreddit ”搜索(” search)运算符将结果限制为在特定 subreddit 中发布的帖子。
天赋
“天赋”搜索(” search)运算符将结果限制为带有特定天赋文本(flair text)标记的帖子。
- 示例:(Example:) 天赋:新闻(flair:news)
Reddit 的布尔搜索运算符
Reddit 的布尔搜索运算符使用严格的条件来限制搜索结果。我注意到这些运算符在使用 Reddit 的新设计时似乎无法正常工作,因此如果您想使用这些运算符,则需要恢复为旧设计。
和
“AND”搜索运算符将结果限制为包含这两个术语的帖子。默认情况下,这适用于基本查询搜索,这意味着您不必使用它,但在使用多个不同运算符的高级情况下可能需要这样做。
- 示例:(Example:) 运动鞋和袜子(sneakers AND socks)
要么
“OR”搜索运算符将结果限制为包含任一术语的帖子。如果术语包含多个单词,则必须用引号将其括起来。
- 示例:(Example:) 菠萝或芒果(pineapples OR mangos)
不是
“NOT”搜索运算符将结果限制为此后不包含文本的帖子。如果术语包含多个单词,则必须用引号将其括起来。
- 示例:(Example:) 奶酪不是披萨(cheese NOT pizza)
Reddit 的高级搜索运算符最好的部分是它们可以一起使用!通过将每个运算符括在括号中,您可以将一长串条件串在一起,这些条件可以帮助您将数百万个帖子缩小到少数几个。
另一个重要提示是尝试使用新旧Reddit设计进行搜索。出于某种原因,某些运营商似乎在每个运营商中表现不同。如上所述,布尔运算符实际上仅在使用旧设计时才有效。虽然Reddit显然还没有解决他们搜索功能(search feature)中的所有问题,但毫无疑问,有了上面列出的十几个运营商,通过Reddit进行搜索是轻而易举的事。

Advanced Search on Reddit Like a Pro
Over the past decadе, Reddit has gone frоm a simple Digg competitor to a complete replacement for a large portion of the internet’s fоrum and chat communities.
Today, with over 26 million active users, it’s the go-to social news and discussion platform. If you don’t use Reddit, you’re missing out on a wealth of breaking information and some very interesting conversations.
The good news is, if you’re just recently
joining Reddit, there’s a backlog of millions of posts for you to search
through! Want to know tips for getting started on the keto diet? Reddit’s got
them. Need information on which credit card is the best option for a teenager?
Reddit can help. However, finding exactly what you’re looking for requires you
to know a few tricks.
In this article, let’s go over Reddit’s
advanced search operators and learn how to navigate through Reddit’s search
like a pro.
Keyword Search Operators for
Reddit
Reddit’s keyword search operators use terms
that tell the text thereafter how to filter results. Using them is the most
advanced way to narrow down your search to the content you’re looking for.
There are currently nine of these, all shown below.
title
The “title” search operator limits
results to posts where the text thereafter (requiring quotation marks if more
than one word) is found within the title. This can be used as a way to find
entire threads about a particular topic.
author
The “author” search operator limits
results to posts made by a specific user. This is not case sensitive.
selftext
The “selftext” search operator limits results
to self-posts where the text thereafter (requiring quotation marks if more than
one word) is found within the body. This can sometimes behave strangely when
used with more than one word, even if wrapped in quotation marks.
url
The “url” search operator limits results to
link posts that contain the exact URL thereafter. This can sometimes return a
small percentage of link posts that don’t match the URL.
site
The “site” search operator limits results to
link posts that contain URLs that belong to a specific domain name.
nsfw
The “nsfw” search operator allows you to
toggle showing (with “yes” or “1”) or hiding (with “no” or “0”) NSFW posts.
self
The “self” search operator allows you to
toggle showing (with “yes” or “1”) or hiding (with “no” or “0”) self-posts.
subreddit
The “subreddit” search operator limits results
to posts made within a specific subreddit.
flair
The “flair” search operator limits results to
posts tagged with a certain flair text.
Boolean Search Operators for
Reddit
Reddit’s boolean search operators use strict
conditions to limit search results. I’ve noticed that these operators do not
seem to work properly when using Reddit’s new design, so you’ll need to revert
to the old design if you want to make use of these.
AND
The “AND” search operator limits results to
posts that include both terms. This works by default for basic query searches,
meaning you don’t have to use it, but this may be required in advanced cases
where several different operators are used.
OR
The “OR” search operator limits results to
posts that include either term. You must surround a term with quotation marks
if it contains more than one word.
NOT
The “NOT” search operator limits results to
posts that do not include the text thereafter. You must surround a term with
quotation marks if it contains more than one word.
The best part about Reddit’s advanced search
operators is that they can be used together! By surrounding each operator in
parentheses, you can string together a long set of conditions that can help you
narrow down millions of posts to just a small handful.
Another big tip is to try your search using
both the new and old Reddit designs. For some reason, certain operators seem to
behave differently across each. As noted above, the boolean operators actually
only work while using the old design. While Reddit clearly hasn’t ironed out
all of the kinks in their search feature, there’s no doubt that with the dozen
operators listed above, searching through Reddit is a breeze.
