#Options explained

Ideas chips. Each chip is a ready-made search such as "food ad". They are shortcuts, not separate categories.

Colour menu. The list holds Black, White, Gray, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, Brown and Beige. Colour filtering is not reliable yet, so rely on the search box and the media type to narrow results.

Saved by. The name of the person who shared the item. If they have a public page, the name is a link.

More like this. Items related to the search you came from, or to the item itself.

Video tiles. A video tile shows its length, and plays a preview when you hover.

Stored results. Searches are stored for 12 hours so repeats open fast. Items are kept for 30 days.

#Limits

  • The search box takes up to 100 characters.
  • Results stop after page 100.
  • The search waits 400 milliseconds after you stop typing.
  • Items open from stored results. If one has dropped out of storage, search for it again.
