Understanding the search syntax
When searching Lingohub Text Manager, you can construct queries that match specific numbers and words. Some keys are available inside the Text Manager search panel:
Built-in queries:
General search — find the query inside the segments' text;
Key search — find the query inside the segments' keys;
ID search — find the query inside the segments' IDs;
Description search — find the segments where the description matches.
Qualifier | Example |
in:key navigation | matches segments that have "navigation" in key |
in:id:1 | matches segments having the id 1 |
in:description test | matches segments that have "test" in description |
But if you need to specify the search more, find the additional syntax below.
Negating the search
Most of the search syntax supports the prefix not: E.g., navigation not:in:key searches for all segments that don't have a key containing the text navigation.
Qualifier | Example |
not:in:key navigation | matches segments that do not have "navigation" in key |
Query for values greater or less than another value
( These modifiers are possible in in:id and createdAt.)
You can use >, >=, <, and <= to search for values that are greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, and less than or equal to another value. You can also use range queries to search for values that are greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to, another value.
Take a look at the example below.
Qualifier | Example |
in:id>50 | matches segments that have as id greater than 50 |
Query for values between a range
You can use the range syntax n..n to search for values within a range, where the first number n is the lowest and the second is the highest.
Query for dates
You can search for dates that are earlier or later than another date, or that fall within a range of dates, by using >, >=, <, <=, and range queries. Date formatting must follow the ISO8601 standard YYYY-MM-DD (year-month-day).
Qualifier | Example |
createdAt:>2020-11-15 | matches segments that were created after November 15, 2020. |
updatedAt:>=2020-11-15 | matches segments that were updated after November 15, 2020. |
Search in projects and branches
Qualifier | Example |
in:project:Rails/main | matches text segment which are in the project Rails and the branch with word "main". |
Note: It is possible to search in multiple projects like in:project:Rails,Angular or in just the branch in:project:/main
Search by deleted and translatable
Qualifier | Example |
is:translatable | matches segments which are translatable. |
is:deleted | matches segments which are deleted. |
