Advanced Search Syntax

Find any AI-generated asset instantly with Google-style search operators. Boolean logic, field-specific queries, wildcards, and date ranges—all designed for creative workflows.

  • Semantic AI Search
  • Boolean Operators
  • Field-Specific Search
  • Wildcards & Ranges

Quick Start

Numonic search automatically detects when you use advanced operators. Just type naturally—the grammar is enabled when you use AND, OR, NOT, parentheses, or ranges.

Simple Search

futuristic cityscape

Searches filename, prompt, and description for matches.

Advanced Search

tool:comfyui AND prompt:castle NOT tag:draft

Uses grammar parser for precise field matching.

Search Modes: Semantic vs Text

Numonic uses two different search engines depending on your query. The system automatically selects the best mode for your search.

Semantic Search (AI-Powered)

Activated when: You type plain natural language without operators

Renaissance painting with dramatic lighting

Finds visually similar images using AI understanding

cyberpunk cityscape at night

Matches by conceptual similarity, not just keywords

AI-powered semantic similarity finds conceptually related assets. Only high-confidence matches are returned.

Text Search (Structured)

Activated when: You use field operators, Boolean operators, quotes, or special syntax

tool:midjourney prompt:castle

Exact field matching with fuzzy text search

tag:approved AND title:"hero image"

Boolean logic with quoted phrases

Uses PostgreSQL full-text search and trigram matching for fuzzy text matching.

When to Use Which?

Semantic

Finding assets by visual concept, mood, style, or abstract description

Text

Finding assets by exact metadata values, tags, tool names, or specific parameters

Note: These modes are mutually exclusive. Using any operator (like tag: or AND) switches to text mode.

Boolean Operators

Combine multiple conditions with Boolean logic. Operator precedence: NOT > AND > OR. Use parentheses to override.

AND
tool:comfyui AND tag:approved

Match assets that satisfy both conditions. AND is implicit between terms.

OR
tool:midjourney OR tool:comfyui

Match assets that satisfy either condition.

NOT
tool:comfyui NOT tag:draft

Exclude assets matching the negated condition.

-
-tag:archived

Shorthand for NOT. Exclude assets with this tag.

Field-Specific Search

Target specific metadata fields with field:value syntax. Use quotes for multi-word values.

tool:tool:comfyui

Filter by AI generation tool (midjourney, comfyui, etc.)

prompt:prompt:"futuristic city"

Search within generation prompts. Use quotes for phrases.

tag:tag:approved

Filter by asset tags.

filename:filename:header.png

Search by filename.

mime_type:mime_type:video/*

Filter by MIME type. Use * wildcard to match subtypes (video/*, image/*).

dimensions:dimensions:1024x1024

Filter by image dimensions.

created:created:2024-01-01..2024-12-31

Filter by creation date range.

uploaded:uploaded:2024-12-27

Filter by upload date.

Advanced Patterns

Wildcards
mime_type:video/*

Use * to match any characters. Find all videos (video/mp4, video/webm, etc.).

Ranges
created:>2024-06-01

Use >, <, >=, <= for numeric and date comparisons.

Grouping
(tool:midjourney OR tool:comfyui) tag:hero

Use parentheses to group conditions and control precedence.

Plain text
cat OR dog

Search across default fields (filename, prompt, description).
