Filters
Keywords
Use keywords to control which opportunities appear in a filter. Combine simple terms, exact phrases, required words, and exclusions to keep results focused.
Basic Search
Basic Search matches projects that contain your keyword terms in the job title, description, or related metadata. Add one term per tag when you want broad matching.
All Keywords Search
Add multiple keyword tags when every word matters. HEVVOK uses these terms to keep your filter focused on jobs that match your service, industry, or skill set.
website designFinds projects that mention both website and design.
Wildcards
Use broader stems when clients describe the same work in different ways. This helps you catch close variants without creating a long list of separate filters.
develop*Matches developer, development, and developing.
Exact Phrases
Use quotes for exact phrase matches:
"website design"Finds the exact phrase "website design".
Must-Include Terms
Use the + symbol before any word that must be present. For example:
+website +design logoMust include both website and design. Logo is optional.
Excluded Terms
Use the - symbol to exclude specific terms. For example:
+developer -wordpressMust include developer but exclude projects with wordpress.
Advanced Mode
Advanced Search Mode provides the same functionality as Basic Search, but uses a text field instead of tags for greater control and visibility. This makes it easier to:
- Write and edit complex queries
- See your entire search at once
- Copy and save queries for later use
- Fine-tune your search terms
To enable Advanced Mode, open Advanced Keywords Options and select Search Mode. This switches the filter to a single searchable query field.
Search by Field
Target specific fields when a keyword should only match one part of a project, such as title, description, skills, budget, location, or client history.
Boolean Operators
Use AND, OR, and NOT when you need strict logic across multiple terms. Boolean rules are most useful for filters with several service categories or exclusions.
Grouping Terms
Use parentheses to control how terms are evaluated. Grouping is helpful when one part of the query is required and another part can match one of several options.
