Query

Operators

It is possible to forbid results simply by preceding your criterion with the minus sign, i.e. -criterion. This is most helpful when using complex queries, e.g. gender:male -age:0-50 which returns any male character over the age of 50.

Terms

Terms are any words which are provided in the vitals box on a character's profile (which contains their name and button). For example, Jessica Steel's vitals contains the name "Jessica Ellie Steel" and the aliases "Senior Tutor Steel", "Steel" and "JES", which equate to the terms jessica, ellie, steel, senior, tutor and jes.
