Advanced searches, queries, and keyterms

Sometimes, it's helpful to know the technical form of a keyword. You don't need to know the technical form of a keyword for basic searches; for example, you can just search website instead of the technical form type:webpage, though both will pull up all of your saved website links.

As another example, say you want to see everything you've ever watched or read. OR searches require the technical term, so you'll need to know them to type out your query. (For the example above, you would search for action:read || action:watch && completed:true)
