Search a03 for only Midam

If this is useful to anyone else: I just read up a little bit on how a03 uses Elasticsearch for filtering search results. Anyway, long story short, if you want to whittle down the Supernatural fandom to only display Midam as the main pairing, I’ve constructed a search query that does a fairly decent job.

1. First, click on “Search”.

2.  When the “Search Results” page appears. Click on “Edit Search.” This will direct you to a “Work Search” page.

3. On the “Work Search” page

a. Copy and Paste this query into “Any Field”

summary: Adam || summary: Michael || otp: true || summary: prompt* || summary:drabble* || summary: one-shot*

b. Enter “Supernatural (TV 2005)” for the Fandoms.

c. Enter “Michael/Adam Milligan” for Relationships.

Important: Do NOT enter any other tags for Relationships

d. Select your preferred Sort by (I did by “Comments”) and then click on “Search”

4. And here’s what we get: 901 results of pure midam goodness!
