Yarns uses Bleve as it’s primary indexer and engine to drive searches. By default Yarns uses the Match Query matching the search terms against all fields.
Basic Searches
You can perform basic searches by just typing some keywords in the search field.
For example this query searches for all Twts containing the words “Hello” and “World” sorting by score.
Searching Mentions
You can search for Twts that contain mentions.
For example this query searches for all Twts that mention prologic@twtxt.net.
