A post represents a single file that's been uploaded. Posts can be tagged, flagged for deletion, searched for, deleted, approved, sourced, added to pools, given ratings, have notes added to them, commented, voted on, and favorited.

Searching Posts

Searching for posts is straightforward. Simply enter the tags you want to search for, separated by spaces. For example, searching for apple orange will return every post that has both the apple tag AND the orange tag.

That's not all. e6AI offers several meta-tags that let you further refine your search, allowing you to search for things like width, height, score, uploader, date, and more. Consult the cheat sheet for a complete list of what you can do.

Tags

? + – mammal 950
? + – fluttershy 950
? + – simple background 950

In both the listing page and the show page you'll notice a list of tag links with characters next to them. Here's an explanation of what the links are:

• ? The wiki page for that tag.
• + Adds the tag to your current search.
• – Negates the tag from your current search.

Also shown on the post index (whether searching with a tag or not) is a list of trending tags. These are the thirty tags that have been applied to the most posts in the last 24 hours, sorted by total post count.
