  • size=1024x768 -- a specific wallpaper size
  • size>=500x500 -- no small images
  • size<1000x1000 -- no large images
• width (=, <, >, <=, >=) width, eg
  • width=1024 -- find images with 1024 width
  • width>2000 -- find images bigger than 2000 width

  • height=768 -- find images with 768 height
  • height>1000 -- find images bigger than 1000 height
• ratio (=, <, >, <=, >=) width : height, eg
  • ratio=4:3, ratio=16:9 -- standard wallpaper
  • ratio=1:1 -- square images
  • ratio<1:1 -- tall images
  • ratio>1:1 -- wide images
• filesize (=, <, >, <=, >=) size, eg
  • filesize>1024 -- no images under 1KB
  • filesize<=3MB -- shorthand filesizes are supported too
• id (=, <, >, <=, >=) number, eg
  • id<20 -- search only the first few images

  • tags=1 -- search for images with only 1 tag
  • tags>=10 -- search for images with 10 or more tags
  • tags<25 -- search for images with less than 25 tags
• source=(URL, any, none) eg
  • source=http://example.com -- find all images with "http://example.com" in the source
  • source=any -- find all images with a source
  • source=none -- find all images without a source
• order=(id, width, height, filesize, filename)_(ASC, DESC), eg
  • order=width -- find all images sorted from highest > lowest width
  • order=filesize_asc -- find all images sorted from lowest > highest filesize
• order=random_####, eg
  • order=random_8547 -- find all images sorted randomly using 8547 as a seed

Search items can be combined to search for images which match both, or you can stick "-" in front of an item to search for things that don't match it.

Metatags can be followed by ":" rather than "=" if you prefer.
I.E: "posted:2014-01-01", "id:>=500" etc.
