Search filters are currently implemented as `key:value` operators, similar to [DuckDuckGo ](https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/syntax/ ) and other search engines. Operators can be added to the search query to filter results, for example: [`type:playlist sort:views music` ](https://invidio.us/search?q=type%3Aplaylist+sort%3Adate+music ).

When using `subscriptions:true` or `channel:UCxxx` other filters are not applied.
