Suggestions for advanced search enhancement

Jun 13, 2026 - permalink

In my opinion the following suggestions would give the user an even better access to the deep pool of images this site provides. From the layman's perspective they also shouldn't be too difficult to implement, technically.

  1. add a filter option to show only images with a score between … and … (would be useful for finding images that were quite (but not extremely) popular some years ago, though are now difficult to find with the current advanced search (as they often do not have the modern/custom tags)

  2. add a filter option to show only images that were uploaded between (date1) and (date2) (this would allow us to see for example what is the most popular image from 2013? As it could be combined with the order option "high score (all time)" in advanced search)

  3. negative tags (images with the selected tag are not shown)

  4. new order option "high score (in the last 6 hours)" to push otherwise underrated images

Exclusionary search (excluding specified tags or strings from results) is my #1 request. The extra control over search results would be overpowered (just imagine being able to exclude selfie photos).

Another idea: setting earliest/latest ranges for uploaded date.

negative tags (images with the selected tag are not shown)

Agreed.

It would also be useful if we can search based on the Model level tags in the list with Models.

Example with Model level tag "Chinese": Instead of getting every pic with the tag Chinese, only get the models with model level tag Chinese. I.e. a model is only shown once in that filtered list

Your 1 and 2 are easy to implement, I just wonder if there's a point at which the advanced search form gets too cluttered.

Your #3 I've thought about and have planned on doing, but I need to investigate the performance implications first.

#4: Hmm, I'll think about it.
