Filtering, Search & Sorting¶
Search, collections, read state, priority and sort order all live in the Filters panel, and they all combine. Every combination is also a URL you can bookmark.
The Filters panel¶
Click Filters, under the saving bar, to open or close the panel. It opens by itself, and reads "Filters (active)", whenever any filter is in effect, so you can always tell when you're looking at part of your list.
Search¶
Type in the search box ("Search bookmarks..."). It matches text anywhere in a bookmark's title, description, URL or site name, ignoring upper and lower case. The list updates about a third of a second after you stop typing. The × button at the end of the box clears it.
Collections¶
The Collections: row has All, Uncategorized, and your collections in alphabetical order, followed by + New for creating one. See Collections.
Read state, priority and sort¶
| Row | Choices |
|---|---|
| Filter: | All, Unread, Read |
| Priority: | All, Urgent, High, Normal, Low |
| Sort: | Newest first (the default), By priority |
By priority puts Urgent first, then High, Normal and Low, newest first within each level. See Priorities & Read Status.
Combining filters¶
Every filter applies at once. Unread, Urgent, in Articles, matching "rust" is one view.
The count above the list ("12 bookmarks") and the toolbar's delete, export and share buttons act on exactly the bookmarks displayed, so filters are also how you choose what those buttons act on.
URL parameters¶
Each filter is stored in the dashboard's URL:
| Parameter | Values | Example |
|---|---|---|
collection |
A collection's ID, or uncategorized |
?collection=uncategorized |
filter |
unread or read |
?filter=unread |
priority |
urgent, high, normal or low (other values are ignored) |
?priority=urgent |
sort |
priority (anything else means newest first) |
?sort=priority |
search |
Any text | ?search=rust |
They combine with &: https://tldrq.com/?filter=unread&sort=priority shows unread bookmarks by priority.
A collection's ID is a long code. The easiest way to get one is to click the collection and copy the address bar.
Saving and sharing a filtered view¶
Each filter change adds an entry to your browser's history, so Back and Forward step through the views you've looked at, and you can bookmark a filtered dashboard in your browser.
Those URLs only work for you, while you're signed in. To show a view to someone else, create a share link instead.
