Tumblr Never See User on Your Dash Again
ETA:
Tumblr's search has always been a bit buggy, and it has non always done *exactly* what it was supposed to do. But information technology seems similar it was updated once more in leap of 2017 and can no longer search multiple hashtags with multiple words. If you want to cross search multiple subjects, the best fashion is to find the most unique single word possible to represent each subect and search those without the hashtag.
Tumblr unveilved the new "Tumblr Search" viii months ago, but understanding the fine points of how information technology works or how to benefit from it most isn't e'er straightforward. (Many of you probably know about of this, but hopefully there are at least ane or two things that will be useful to anybody.)
Basics of searching
The Tumblr search bar tin either be institute at tumblr.com/search or in the upper correct hand corner of your dashboard.
When you practise a search for a subject - for example, Chris Evans (he will be my lovely banana today) - tumblr will search the tags of all the posts on tumblr looking for mentions of Chris Evans. It will also search text in the body of the post (including titles, chat posts, and quotes), however this is less consequent, and less effective with older posts and longer phrases.
Tumblr will render search results in the following way: start it will show you the posts from the by 24 hours in order of popularity (number of notes), then it will list the most popular posts of all time. Yous tin view your search results every bit a grid
or in "list view" (traditional dashboard viewing).
This is controlled by the buttons on the right paw side underneath the recommended blogs related to the search discipline.
On the left side y'all tin filter the posts by blazon - for example, y'all can await simply at text post results:
Or you can view your search results in club of what is most recent instead of what is well-nigh popular.
Searching mentions vs. searching tags
Tumblr'south search office is smart, and so a search for Chris Evans will as well turn up posts tagged/captioned with only "Chris fucking Evans, ladies and gentlemen", which can be very helpful.
Merely if, for example, you're searching "A Dance Of Clowns", a lovely piece of music by Mendelssohn, and your top result is some creepy ass clown like out of a disturbed child'south nightmare because that post was tagged with "Pennywise the dancing clown", then y'all probably want to search for that specific tag.
This is done two ways.
1) You lot can add together a hashtag (#) to the outset of your bailiwick when yous type it into the search bar:
When at that place is a hashtag, tumblr volition search only the tags for the exact wording of your search term.
2) Or you can manually change "search" to "tagged" in the address bar. (Do non search using the hashtag if you are going to do this.)
A tumblr search will appear in your address bar as tumblr.com/search/subject field:
This in the address bar will bear witness simply tagged posts:
(plus signs and dashes are interchangeable)
Method #1 is more useful because information technology allows you lot to filter posts by post blazon. And because it allows y'all to search multiple subjects. (But the /tagged/ method has a few advantages every bit well which I'll explain later on.)
Searching multiple subjects
You tin can easily search for multiple subjects by entering them one after the other in the search bar with a hashtag earlier each subject. So if, for example, you lot wanted to find posts that in which Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff were both featured you could do a search like this:
And the results would turn upwardly the way they ever do for a search - the most popular over the past 24 hours offset, then the well-nigh popular for all time. And yous can filter them by mail service type or view them by most recent, etc.
But why stop at two? If you were interested in Steve and Natasha in The Avengers, then you could search #steve rogers #natasha romanoff #the avengers. Or #chris evans #scarlett johansson #the avengers #behind the scenes. Or #the avengers #physician who #au. Or #the avengers #steve rogers #reactions. Etc.
How to accept reward of Tumblr Search
If y'all're looking exclusively for edits, yous can filter past post type (photo posts only) or y'all can do a multiple subject search using the fandom edit tag - similar #steve rogers #marveledit. The latter will turn up less results but overall improve quality ones. You tin also search #mine or #my gifs or #my edits, etc., in combination with a character or ship tag because many people apply those tags to designate their original edit posts.
You can easily scan the well-nigh pop posts for very agile fandoms by doing a quick search for the fandom name each twenty-four hour period. (Or ships, or celebrities, or characters, etc..) I particularly like to be sure to do a search about 12-20 hours after a new episode has aired in order to see what the most pop posts about that episode were. (Though remember the most popular posts are often merely the ones that came beginning, and sometimes, peculiarly with edits, ones that come later are more often than not improve and it might exist worth scrolling further.)
Blacklisting your notps, anti tags, and things like iheartit and getglue volition likewise make browsing through tags a more pleasant experience. (I highly recommend xkit. You won't believe how much easier it'll brand your life.)
One of the advantages of browsing a tag in the /tagged/ format is that you can choose to enter the tag at a specific appointment. This tin exist useful if yous haven't seen the most contempo episode of a show and would like to go dorsum to ane of that fandom'south tags before the episode had aired, if you're just curious nearly what was going on in the tag a long time agone, or if you program on going through the unabridged tag but not all at in one case, and desire to mark your place and so you can return to it later. The list of posts in the tag can exist broken up using a UNIX time postage which is based on the absolute date of the post'due south publishing on not on its relativity to the present.
In order to visit a specific date in the tag (and you lot can then scroll backwards in time from there), y'all can visit this site and enter the appointment in to the time stamp generator. Then y'all go to the tag on tumblr and add "?before=" and so add the time stamp onto the end. So for instance, if I wanted to come across what people were posting in the Chris Evans tag one year ago, I would enter that engagement into the generator
My time stamp is 1370131200. And so to visit the Chris Evans tag at that date, I want this in my address bar:
Success! (Information technology looks like they were posting good stuff.)
In guild to find your place in a tag you lot are scrolling through all you lot need to practise is reblog the last postal service you are looking at. You can draft or queue that reblog, or you lot tin abolish it. When the page refreshes it will give you the timecode for your identify in the tag. Yous tin then bookmark your place or brand a annotation of the date and find information technology once again using the method above.
TUMBLR SEARCH DOES Not Do THIS. If you reblog a post when using the search role in a new tab, when the page refreshes it will take yous back to the very beginning. For this reason - unless you're searching regularly by "Almost Recent" - you basically have just one shot to wait at everything, unless you lot want to scroll through it all again only to reach the posts yous didn't get to before.
Some tips for tagging effectively are under the cut
Tagging effectively to get more notes
When you tag a new original post, proceed in listen that when someone goes through the tracked tags (tumblr.com/tagged/____) your mail service will only come up if the tag they are searching is one of your Commencement FIVE TAGS on that mail service. So always put the most important tags first and leave your commentary and personal tags for your blog for terminal.
Tags later the commencement five will still come up upward in mention searches and hashtag searches. For example, I don't employ "romanogersedit" every bit i of my start five tags for my Steve/Natasha edits because no one is going to be tracking that tag,only I all the same tag with it considering if someone searches for romanogersedit then all of my Steve/Natasha edits will still show up in that search. (Well, some of them. It's a little inconsistent.)
Then tags subsequently your beginning five are still of import.
Again, many of you lot already know all of this then I hope information technology doesn't sound like I'm talking down to you at all and certainly I don't accept any authority just the experience of years squandered on this site.
The nigh important tip is to utilise your offset five tags wisely. Think nigh what tags people volition be tracking or checking.
–No one is going to check the tag 2x13, so using upwardly one of your commencement five tags on the number of the episode is not the best employ of that slot.
–If the character has a mutual commencement name but no known last proper noun then don't bother using their proper noun as one of the first five tags, and exist certain to tag the actor.
–This bears repeating: if yous apply certain tags for characters, ships, fandoms, etc., on your weblog that are not the regular tags for tumblr as a whole, salve those for right earlier your commentary tags. This includes serial that yous're doing (like l HD shut-upwardly pics of Chris Evans' pecs – 100cepecs – for example – btw can someone please practise that?). Unless you lot want your series to work every bit a tracked tag, which is cool likewise.
Exercise YOUR Enquiry. If you don't know what the ship name is, or the edit tag is, or whether to telephone call her Queen Ravenna or only Ravenna, and then just spend a few minutes trying to effigy information technology out. Endeavour out the tag, gyre down a little, run across how often posts are being made in that tag, check out what those posts are tagged with, and then compare. 90% of the time it'll be pretty clear which tag is more popular. Employ THE MORE POPULAR TAG. Even if you lot prefer the other ship name or you lot call back information technology should simply be Flint and not Helm Flintstone, please delight please just employ the more popular tag considering that's better for everyone. If your postal service is worth making, then isn't information technology worth figuring out where information technology should go and where people volition exist looking for it?
Use edit tags. If you've made a graphic, or a gifset, or a picspam, or edited a screencap, then put information technology in an edit tag then that people who are only looking for edits tin observe it more easily. About fandoms have them, and very active fandoms besides have them for ships and characters. Typically it's the title of the movie or testify, no spaces and no articles, +edit. Avengersedit. Captainamericaedit. If there's a very common abbreviation, than that is typically used. aosedit. gotedit. The same with characters. Sansastarkedit. Steverogersedit. But sometimes it'south different. Spncastiel, for example. Which is why it's ever good to exercise your research. Popular celebrities also take edit tags. Putting your post in an edit tag will go along it relevant for longer because edit tags aren't equally active and are less tedious to go through, which means visitors will scroll for a long time and meet older stuff.
Contrary to popular conventionalities, you *can* change your tags afterwards publishing your mail, and they will still be searchable. And then if y'all observe a typo, fix it. If yous realize the tag you lot used isn't the best 1 to accept used, change information technology. Merely keep in mind that you'll have to retype all of the other tags that followed it, if you want that tag to be one your first five.
Bonus tips:
-Make new posts when tumblr is near active (so not when it's the middle of the dark in the United States. Friday evenings in the Usa and Saturdays tend to exist slower as well).
-Cheque the tags right before you lot postal service or amend yet before you kickoff editing. If something very similar to what yous made is going around or has been recently posted by someone else so you would be meliorate off waiting and posting it in a few weeks or more. People won't reblog if they've just seen/reblogged the same thing.
-No matter how well you tag in that location'due south no equivalent for having a lot of followers. But being reblogged by someone (or a subject-specific blog) with a lot of followers is most every bit good. Discover out what tags they track and when they check them, or if they follow you, post or reblog your post when they're on their dashboard. Don't be pushy about it, of course, merely there'due south nothing incorrect with arranging for someone who volition similar your postal service to see it.
Tips for tagging effectively to not be a buttface (aka tips for tagging effectively to be a tumblr user who is considerate of others)
Again, this is just what I've observed as a longtime tumblr user.
Please don't tag your hate. People who check the tags are people who like the thing. They don't want to run into your hate – even if it's thoughtful, valid, well-argued criticism – and y'all're not going to change their minds. They'll just ignore you lot (one hopes), or it'll get ugly. If you need to tag the thing for the sake of you own blog, then definitely make certain information technology'southward not one of your offset five tags. (Though coming upwardly with a unique tag for your blog is best.) This is peculiarly important with real people, characters, and ships. Tagging the fandom in negative posts is more often than not regarded as totally fine.
Do non tag the ship if your post is just you stating that you don't send information technology romantically or explaining why you lot don't ship information technology romantically. While you might not consider this "hate", people checking the tag practice not want to meet it. You can discuss the relationship platonically in the character tags or yous can develop a new tag for the platonic human relationship. But edits are fine.
If you lot're going to brand a negative post, use an anti tag. Again, do your research to find out what the anti tag is the for the affair you dislike so much. If one doesn't exist yet, and then congrats, you get to be the first post. Anti tags allow yous to connect with others who feel the same way and information technology allows your followers and people browsing through the tags to blacklist/tumblr savior your post so they don't have to see it. Some people don't recollect anti tags are a proficient idea then it's controversial but in my stance I do retrieve it's amend. (In fact I love going through anti tags I will confess that freely.)
Don't tag your postal service with stuff that's non in your post. If you're making a full general argument and than tagging with things it applies to, that's ok. Only if y'all edited a screencap of Steve Rogers all by himself and and then tagged it with every unmarried graphic symbol in The Avengers, all of their actors, and then opened upwardly a dictionary and tagged information technology with every word you could notice, then you're wrong and don't practice that. I know you want to go notes but come on, take some honor. Tagging a picture show of an actor with every role they've played and every film they've always been in is more controversial. Information technology'll get y'all notes, but in my stance information technology shouldn't be done on master. (If I'm searching a character then I'm looking for pictures of that character, non the actor. If I wanted pictures of the actor, I would accept searched for the actor. Just that'south but my accept.)
DON'T PUT SOMETHING THAT'Southward Non AN EDIT IN AN EDIT TAG. That's the worst law-breaking there is. The whole point of the edit tag is to avoid stuff like that.
And finally: think long and difficult about what you lot're about to post and what you're most to tag information technology with, and enquire yourself seriously if anyone checking those tags is going to desire to see your mail service. That sounds harsh, only let'south be real. Your followers intendance, simply people going through the tags probably don't. What is your postal service bringing to the tag? Is information technology but something you're making them scroll by? Are yous wasting their time? So remember nigh your showtime five tags and whether your postal service is worth tagging. Obviously you demand to tag information technology for your own blog's purposes, so you can come upward with a unique tag for your blog, or you can skip the kickoff five tags past using them upwards on tags people won't check, like jibberish or commentary, etc.
For instance: "I'thou going to encounter The Winter Soldier this night. So excited!" People going through the tags for the Winter Soldier don't need to encounter that mail. Especially when it'south one of 30 posts simply like it. And then don't tag it in a style that'll force people going through the tags to run across it. "Eating a grilled cheese and watching Captain America. Best lunch ever." All that post has washed is make me crave a grilled cheese. It's certainly not an interesting post about Helm America.
And so, please don't get insecure about whether what y'all've said is smart enough or funny enough (or whether it has been said earlier because in that location'due south no reasonable way of knowing), only be mindful when tagging of the fact that anybody going through the tags will be seeing your post.
Also exist mindful of what is potentially triggering and tag it. There's no good reason non to exist courteous of others.
tags for your blog
Thanks to generous geniuses, in that location are two very easy methods of changing the tags on your web log. Using this app or the same xkit, you lot tin can type in a tag you would similar to change, and and so type in what you want to change it to, and these wonderful technologies volition make those changes for yous. You can likewise append a new tag (so you tin can add the tag "mcu" to every postal service tagged with "captain america", for example) or you lot tin erase the tag from every post that is tagged with it.
This is very useful for a meg reasons, but peculiarly if you want to create a new unique tag for your weblog for a certain subject (like if I wanted to outset tagging Chris Evans on my blog as "precious meatball" I could make sure that all of the posts of him I already had on my blog were tagged that way as well).
Just be careful because there's no going dorsum if you accidentally practice the wrong thing, and be particularly careful of punctuation tags.
ETA:
Tumblr's search has always been a bit buggy, and information technology has non e'er done *exactly* what information technology was supposed to practice. Simply information technology seems like it was updated over again in spring of 2017 and can no longer search multiple hashtags with multiple words. If yous want to cross search multiple subjects, the all-time way is to find the almost unique single word possible to represent each subect and search those without the hashtag.
