As a Power User, you have access to several advanced features to enhance your monitoring capabilities.
The following flags are exclusively available to Power Users:
in-title | Only search in the submission's title. |
in-url | Only search in the submission's URL. |
in-body | Only search in the submission's body text. |
in-username | Only search in the author's username (username is not searched without this flag). |
in-permalink | Only search in the post or comment's permalink (permalink is not searched without this flag). |
full-text | Return the full text of a post or comment instead of an excerpt. |
instant | Bypass the account's email delay and send the alert immediately. |
exclude=word | Exclude matches where the surrounding text contains "word". |
The `in-` flags can be combined to search in multiple fields (e.g., in-title in-url
). If no `in-` flags are specified, the title, body, and URL are searched by default.
The exclude=text
flag allows you to prevent a match if certain text is found within the generated context of the match. This is useful for filtering out common false positives. You can use this flag multiple times to exclude different terms.
For example, if you are searching for the keyword "model", you might get unwanted results for "model for sale". Using the flag exclude="for sale"
would prevent these matches. The text inside the quotes is case-insensitive. For single-word exclusions, quotes are not necessary (e.g., exclude=sale
).
To exclude multiple terms, simply add more flags: exclude=one exclude="some phrase" exclude=three
. A match will be skipped if any of the exclusion terms are found.
