[META] Search by Flair (and Flair's Importance) | Megalinks MegaDB [META] Search by Flair (and Flair's Importance)

This subreddit is a great place with so much new content to browse, and that can sometimes make it difficult to browse for the content you want.

It is possible to search within the subreddit by post flair, which greatly improves readability and is quite useful for seeing the content you want. The only problem is that this only works for posts that have been flaired, <em>so please, remember to flair your posts to help better organize the subreddit.</em> | Megalinks MegaDB so please, remember to flair your posts to help better organize the subreddit.

Say, you wanted to find all videos in x264 1080p. You would enter

flair:1080p,x264

And if you wanted to be specific and find something like Jaws in 1080p x265, you would search this:

Jaws flair:1080p,x265

Here are some flair you can search in this subreddit (please mention if I've forgotten any):

SD | HDTV | HD-TS | [720p][x264] | [720p][x265] | [1080p][x264] | [1080p][x265] | MIXED | WEBRip | WEB-DL | DEAD LINK | [TV][K-Drama] | 4K | HDRip | 480p | Blu-Ray | REMUX

Issue is, people don't always flair. You can literally click on the flair it self and it'll show you posts only with that flair. While using the search bar method can widen the search, it is there for quick use. I would love it if every poster would flair. I would honestly prefer simply flairing what type of media is being shared rather than it being in post title.

I had no idea you could click on the flair! That's very useful.

I also think flair would be a better use for sorting content types, since it makes it very much easier to browse the content you want to see.

can you just search for all x264?

[-] ecchh | 4 points | Oct 22 2017 22:41:46

Yes, if you just use

flair:x264

it will give you both 720p and 1080p results for flaired posts

I never understood why this sub decided to search for the codecs and not the material. I'd prefer to filter for movies, so I don't have to crawl through anime and so on. But then again, it's not that important, I usually find what I want. Only browsing is kind of a pain in the ass (try browsing for "game" or "games" and you end up with tons of Game of Thrones).

Can we have flairs for music?

[-] JustinDC123 | 1 points | Oct 26 2017 03:02:23

Flairs for FLAC and MP3 would be great.
