This is an article about detailed use of the search engine via the browser's address bar. For parent articles, please see E-Hentai Gallery System, Favorites and Gallery Searching.

Using PHP GET parameters

Basic guidelines

  • ? (question mark): Append this after a .php file (index.php is omitted; in this case append directly after the slash) to start declaring arguments, parameters and their respective values.
  • & (ampersand): Must be preceded by ? at the beginning of the declaration. Append this to declare additional arguments/parameters. You must add an ampersand for each new argument or parameter.
  • = (equals): Sets a GET argument/parameter's value if applicable. If omitted, the default value is used.

If arguments are omitted, their default value is used/they are ignored. Some arguments have prerequisites to actually mean something (f_srdd, for example, is useless without f_sr=on, as it requires f_sr to activate a search by rating).

Querying

The following parameters are crucial for querying.

  • f_search: The search query. Must be URI-compatible.
  • advsearch: Default value is 1. Toggles advanced searching and visibility of the advanced options panel for galleries. 0=disabled, 1=enabled.
  • page: Default value is 0. The zero-indexed page to jump to.

Search types

At least one search type is required. Filters will be ignored if the corresponding search type is omitted.

  • f_sname: Enabled by default. Searches for the f_search query in gallery titles.
  • f_sdesc: Enabled by default. Searches for the f_search query in gallery descriptions (uploader comments).
  • f_storr: Disabled by default. Searches for the f_search query in torrent filenames.
  • f_stags: Enabled by default. Enables search by tags. Restricted to searchable tags by default.
    • f_sdt1: Ignored by default or if f_sdt2 is set. Also searches for low-power tags.
    • f_sdt2: Ignored by default. Also searches for low-power and downvoted tags.
  • f_sr: Disabled by default. Enables search by rating (2-5).
    • f_srdd: Ignored by default. Minimum gallery rating for results in stars.
  • f_sp: Disabled by default. Enables search by page count (1-2000).
    • f_spf: Ignored by default. Sets the minimum amount of pages required for a gallery to be shown with this query.
    • f_spt: Ignored by default. Sets the maximum amount of pages required for a gallery to be shown with this query.

Viewing

  • from: Automatically set when needed. Discards galleries from the provided gallery ID (gid) for proper display of filtered/new results. Ignored where it would not have any effect.
    • Example - A link to the next page automatically sets "from" to the last gallery ID of the page to prevent the previous page from pushing galleries you've already seen in the results.
  • inline_set: Changes the current inline display mode.

Accepted values:

  • dm_m: Minimal
  • dm_p: Minimal+
  • dm_l: Compact (default)
  • dm_e: Extended
  • dm_t: Thumbnail

Categories

  • f_cats: Filters out categories you don't want to see using binary flags. Add them up to achieve the desired result. Cannot be higher than 1022 (hides everything but Misc); 1023 is the same as 0.

Flag values:

  • 1=Hide misc
  • 2=Hide doujinshi
  • 4=Hide manga
  • 8=Hide artistcg
  • 16=Hide gamecg
  • 32=Hide imageset
  • 64=Hide cosplay
  • 128=Hide asianporn
  • 256=Hide nonh
  • 512=Hide western

Favorites

Note: Requires the user to specify at least one field to search for as there is no default field.

  • favcat: Ignored by default (shows all favorites). Accepted values are 0 to 9. If provided, only searches in the specified favorite category.
  • sn: Disabled by default. Searches for gallery titles matching the search query.
  • st: Disabled by default. Searches for searchable gallery tags matching the search query.
  • sf: Disabled by default. Searches for notes matching the search query.

File searching

  • f_shash: Ignored by default. The SHA-1 file hash to search for.
  • fs_from: Ignored by default. The filename of the file that will be used to compare against. You must provide a file for this to work.
  • fs_similar: Default is 1. Toggles similarity search. 0=disabled, 1=enabled.
  • fs_covers: Default is 1. Toggles cover-only search. 0=any file, 1=cover only.
  • fs_exp: Default is 1. Toggles expunged gallery file searching. 0=disabled, 1=enabled.

Filters

A valid f_search argument is required for all filters. The following filters are disabled by default.

  • f_sto: Only returns galleries with torrents.
  • f_sh: Shows expunged galleries.
  • f_sfl: Ignores the user's language exclusion settings for this query.
  • f_sfu: Ignores the user's uploader exclusion settings for this query.
  • f_sft: Ignores the user's My Tags exclusion settings for this query.

Galleries

Those parameters only apply inside of a gallery.

  • hc: Disabled by default. Accepted value is 1. If enabled, shows comments with a score of -50 or less. Clicking the corresponding option at the bottom of the page automatically adds a #comments anchor linking to the comment box. Changing pages will reset this.
    • The #c<comment_id> anchor at the end of the URL will link to the corresponding comment ID. Using @<comment_id> in a comment will perform a comment mention and automatically add the corresponding anchor.
  • longurls: Disabled by default, deprecated. If the longurls cookie is set to any value, uses the original long URLs when linking to a page (includes both width and height of the linked picture).
  • nw: Disabled by default, used when visiting a content warning gallery if the cookie is not set. Accepted values: "session" and "always". Sets the cookie to 1 until the end of the session or for a duration of 1 year.
