Labels allow you to group and search for content in Omnivore. A saved page can have multiple labels and search results can be filtered by label.
On iOS you add and remove labels from a page using the Assign Labels modal.
You can open the Assign Labels modal from the home view or the reader view. In the home view long press on an item and choose Edit Labels from the dropdowm menu. In the reader view use the top right menu button.
On the web you add and remove labels from a page using the Assign Labels dropdown or modal depending on your screen size. For larger monitors you will see the Labels button on the left hand side of the reader view. For smaller monitors you will see the labels dropdown at the top of your screen.
You can also use keyboard commands to open the assign labels modal. On the reader view tap the l
key. Once open you can use the up/down arrow keys, or the tab key to navigate the available labels, and the Enter key to toggle a label.
On iOS you can use the Labels search chip to search for labels. This will open a modal allowing you to assign multiple labels to your search. This will become an OR
search, meaning if you add multiple labels to your search, pages that have any of the labels will be returned.
Omnivore's advanced search syntax supports searching for multiple labels usingAND
and OR
clauses. You can also negate a label search to find all pages that do not have a certain label.
Some examples:
-label:Newsletter
finds all pages that have the label Newsletter
label:Cooking,Fitness
finds all your pages with either the Cooking
or Fitness
labelslabel:Newsletter label:Surfing
finds all pages with both the Newsletter
and Surfing
labelslabel:Coding -label:Newsletter
finds all pages with the Coding
label that do not have the Newsletter
labelThe labels page allows you to edit all of your labels. From here you can create new labels, delete existing labels, or modify the color and description of a label.
