Soft Filtering Examples

Soft filtering works based on a threshold set in My Settings. The sum of positive tags less negative tags must be equal to or greater than this threshold to appear in a search. See My Tags for where the filtering applies. The following examples assume a threshold set to 0.

Using My Tags to filter undesirable tags unless desired tag(s) are also present

This is a passive filter that will work with or without a search on the gallery list.

Example: The user does not wish to see any f:stockings galleries, unless there is also f:footjob present.

• In My Tags, create a tag set.
• Add f:stockings, set a weight of -1, do not select Hidden, and click save.
• Add f:footjob, set a weight of 2, optionally select Watched, and click save.

A gallery that contains f:stockings but not f:footjob will have an overall weight of -1, and so will be filtered from the gallery list or search, as it is less than the set threshold of 0.

A gallery containing f:stockings and f:footjob will have an overall weight of +1, which is greater than than the set threshold of 0, and so will be included in the gallery list or search.

A more in-depth example:

The user wants to find only galleries with the following conditions:

- Does not contain m:yaoi, unless it contains m:crossdressing AND m:kissing.

• Add m:yaoi to a tag set with a weight of -3.
• Add m:crossdressing and m:kissing with a weight of +2 each.

A gallery containing m:yaoi and m:crossdressing will only have an overall weight of -1 which is below the set threshold, but a gallery containing m:yaoi, m:crossdressing, and m:kissing, will have an overall weight of +1, allowing it to be included in the gallery list or search.

An alternative example:

The user does not want to see f:guro, unless it's an insignificant part of the gallery

• Add f:guro with a weight of -1
• Add f:low guro with a weight of +2

A gallery containing f:guro will only have an overall weight of -1, so these will be filtered from the gallery list and search, but a gallery containing f:guro and f:low guro, will have an overall gallery weight of +1, allowing it to be included in the gallery list or search.

Using My Tags to conditionally search for galleries that contain at least one desired tag

This is an active search that requires at least 1 tag that you wish to be included in the search, and a list of other tags of which at least one must be included. Example: The user wants to see only English results, and wants galleries that contain either stockings or pantyhose.

• In My Tags, create a tag set.
• Add l:english, set a weight of -1, do not select Hidden, and click save.
• Add f:stockings, set a weight of 2, optionally select Watched, and click save.
• Add f:pantyhose, set a weight of 2, optionally select Watched, and click save.
• Do a search for l:english$.

The search forces only galleries that have the l:english tag, but l:english results alone will be filtered due to having an overall weight of -1, which is less than the set threshold of 0. Galleries that contain either stockings or pantyhose, or which contain both, will have a score of +1, or +2 for both, which is greater than the set threshold of 0.

A more in-depth example:

The user wants to find only galleries with the following conditions:

- Does not contain f:netorare.
- Does not contain f:cheating.
- Does contain f:big breasts.
- Does contain f:femdom.
- Contains f:stockings OR f:pantyhose OR f:footjob.

• Add f:big breasts to a tag set with a weight of -1.
• Add f:stockings, f:pantyhose, and f:footjob with a weight of +2 each.
• Optionally add f:netorare and f:cheating and select Hidden for both.
• If the optional tags to be hidden were added, then the user does a search for f:"big breasts$" f:femdom$.
• If the optional tags to be hidden were not added, then the user does a search for f:"big breasts$" f:femdom$ -f:netorare$ -f:cheating$.
