Advanced Delicious Search Operators

You can search bookmarks on Delicious using advanced parameters. By default, searches look at text in the description, notes or tags fields. Search operators allow you to narrow the search for specific results.

tag:recipe – only show items with the tag “recipe”
“lettuce and tomato” – limit to this phrase with all words in this order
