Power User Features

As a Power User, you have access to several advanced features to enhance your monitoring capabilities.


Power User Flags

The following flags are exclusively available to Power Users:

in-titleOnly search in the submission's title.
in-urlOnly search in the submission's URL.
in-bodyOnly search in the submission's body text.
in-usernameOnly search in the author's username (username is not searched without this flag).
in-permalinkOnly search in the post or comment's permalink (permalink is not searched without this flag).
full-textReturn the full text of a post or comment instead of an excerpt.
instantBypass the account's email delay and send the alert immediately.
exclude=wordExclude matches where the surrounding text contains "word".
include-any=wordMatch if text also contains at least one 'include-any' word.
include-all=wordMatch if text also contains all 'include-all' words.

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.


Grouping Alerts with group=

The group=name flag allows you to organize your alerts into separate, dedicated emails. All alerts with the same group name will be bundled into a single email, separate from your other alerts. This is useful for managing alerts for different projects or topics.

For example:

In this case, you would receive one email for the "stocks" group (containing alerts for both Tesla and Nvidia) and a separate email for the "tech companies" group. Any alerts without a group flag would be delivered together in the default summary email.

If a group name contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotes.


Excluding Text from Matches

Example:
Do not match if the text "for sale" is found.

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.


Requiring Text in Matches

Example:
Only match if "safety" and either "sedan" or "suv" are also found.

The include-any and include-all flags do the opposite of exclude: they require additional terms to be present for a match to occur. Use quotes for multi-word phrases (e.g., include-all="safety rating").

The include-any flag requires at least one of the specified terms to be present. For example, to find healthy recipes that involve apples or oranges, you could use: healthy recipes include-any=apple include-any=orange.

The include-all flag requires all of the specified terms to be present. For example, to find car reviews that mention both safety and ratings, you could use: car review include-all=safety include-all=rating.

You can combine these flags. If you do, a match will only occur if all of the include-all terms are found, and at least one of the include-any terms is found.
