How to use the keyword search feature in Eve Online

Hello everyone, Tauza here with another tip for Eve Online.

I keep all of my tips in my in game notepad and use them all the time so I thought I would start to share them with all of you. At this time I have over 30 notes that I refer to on a regular basis and I share them with all of the members of our corporation, alliance and coalition. I hope you find them as useful as I do. I called this note:

Keyword search

(Everything below this is in the note in game. You go to your Personal Assets and then to the "Search in Stations" tab to use the information below. This is a huge time saver.)

This is the full list of supported keyword and the expected values:

    type: matches item type names

    group: matches the group name of items (battleship, mineral, fighter bomber etc.)

    category: matches the category name of items (ship, module, commodity etc.)

    minimum: minimum number of items in a stack

    maximum: maximum number of items in a stack

    metalevel: matches the metalevel of an item

    metagroup: matches the meta group name of items (ie. faction, storyline, officer)

    techlevel: the tech level of item (1, 2 or 3)

    minsecurity: minimum security status of items location (-1.0 – 1.0)

    maxsecurity: maximum security status of items location (-1.0 – 1.0)

    security: matches security level as text (high, empire, low, null, zero)

    system: name of the solar system item is located in

    constellation: name of the constellation item is located in

    region: name of the region item is located in

    station: maches parts of station names

    blueprint: matches either copy or original

Some additional notes to keep in mind:

• All casing is ignored for both keywords and their respective values.
• Text must be enclosed in double quotes if more than one word. If not only the first word will be used and the rest is lost into the ether.
• The keywords are not translated

(put the following into the "Search in Stations" search text box for an example)

metagroup:faction

will match all items in groups with "faction" somewhere in the group name and located anywhere in Eve Online

metagroup:faction security:empire

or

metagroup:faction security:low

(searches I use all the time)

category:ship, region:domain

category:module, security:high, region:placid

group:salvaged materials, region:verge

group:Hybrid, region:solitude

category:planet, group:advanced

This feature is extremely useful when you store things in containers like the image below as it will search inside of all the containers.
