Search Operators

Operators act as restrictions on the search. As more operators are added to the same query string, they further restrict the returned results. Search can also be performed by typing only a text with no operator, which will match against a variety of fields.

cansee:'CHANGE'

Matches accounts that can see the change 'CHANGE'. If the change is private, this operator will match with the owner/reviewers/ccs of the change if the caller is in owner/reviewers/ccs of the change. Otherwise, the request will fail with 404 Bad Request with "change not found" message.

email:'EMAIL'

Matches accounts that have the email address 'EMAIL' or an email address that starts with 'EMAIL'.

is:active

Matches accounts that are active.

is:inactive

Matches accounts that are inactive.

name:'NAME'

Matches accounts that have any name part 'NAME'. The name parts consist of any part of the full name and the email addresses.

username:'USERNAME'

Matches accounts that have the username 'USERNAME'.

Magical Operators

is:visible

Magical internal flag to prove the current user has access to read the account. This flag is always added to any query.

is:active

Matches accounts that are active. If neither is:active nor is:inactive is contained in a query, is:active is automatically added so that by default only active accounts are matched.

limit:'CNT'

Limit the returned results to no more than 'CNT' records. This is automatically set to the page size configured in the current user’s preferences. Including it in a web query may lead to unpredictable results with regards to pagination.
