Also. Just for the record. I learned how to do this kind of filtering when I was helping a blind professor with his research (because it was still the early days of the web and his screen reader struggled with search interfaces). If you are at a university I PROMISE that this is a transferable skill that will make looking up stuff for your papers so much less painful. And if you talk to one of the librarians (try the reference desk or the online chat; the people at the checkout desk won’t be able to help as much) and tell them that you want to learn how to do this, they may be able to show you on the spot or they may know of an upcoming workshop where you can learn.
But regardless of the database you’re working on, whether you’re looking for smut or whump or newspaper articles from 1958 or books on pollinating insects, taking some time to play around with the search criteria is ABSOLUTELY WORTH YOUR TIME. Even if you still can’t find what you’re looking for, you’ll have learned some stuff about how they work for next time.

I know for a fact that I reblogged a post about the Ultimate Grilled Cheese a few weeks back, and I'm 99.9% sure I tagged it 'food' and yet now I fancy trying it out can I find that post? Can I find that damned post. Tumblr search function strikes again

As an editor, I use both original music and music libraries for projects, depending on the project and depending on how much time there is to do the project.
My first series gig as an editor, I split seasons with another editor with whom we both used music provided by the series composer. Sometimes we'd ask for new compositions but at some point we'd dip into the body of work that was already created. One of the outcomes of that arrangement is that we both had this one cut of music we almost always used for a particular kind of sequence. It was simply too perfect to pass up.
Now, while we both did this, we didn't actual know we both did this. The only person who knew, of course, was the producer whose shows we were cutting and who quickly made it clear:
You guys are using this music way to damn much.
Whoops.
So we had to force ourselves into making different choices whenever we thought to use that music again.
We did, by the way.
We found other music. Sometimes we asked for new music that did something different.
We had to bring more effort to bear, more intention to bear, basically.
As I told a friend recently, that one cut of music couldn't possibly have been perfect in so many circumstances. We just thought it was because it came to mind so easily. 
Because it came to mind.
So easily.
And so it became our Go-To cut of music.
By the way, you have to be careful with anything that's your Go-To. Because in some cases, that designation "Go-To" is another way of saying "This is all I could think of."
You see, one of the hazards of working against the clock is that I often reach for and accept first solutions. The first ideas that come to mind. 
Don't get me wrong, a lot of great ideas come to my mind that way.
However.
There's no way to know that for sure without scrutiny. Without, instead of shooting from the hip, actually considering the idea in context.
Apply some of that executive function magic my brain can do.
Recently, I was asked to check out the music library of a company that approached a company I work for about giving them a chance.
I spent a bit of time with their library yesterday, using more descriptive language instead of discrete search terms. For example: "A sad piano and strings theme" that it served up in seconds. The library can also be accessed from inside Premiere Pro and you can upload any sound file for its AI to analyze and then serve up the closest matches in the library.
Don't get me wrong. These are all thoroughly impressive features. I discussed this with another editor who had some concerns and we stepped through how we'd address those.
That's a good thing, by the way. It's in no way being a buzz kill to say I'm not so sure. Because we're definitely at our most intellectually vulnerable once we make up our minds. Once we make up our minds is exactly the moment when someone should be tasked with figuring out—
Okay.
What's gonna screw us?
Not joking there, by the way. We all have blind spots.
Anyway, we didn't take the library on a shakedown cruise. We listened to cross sections of music and explored the interface a bit just to be sure we were trading either up or laterally.
In the end, my vote had nothing to do with the features (although they are tasty).
My vote was, in the absence of anything that would screw us and given a trade of quality that was at least of equal value...
My vote was to switch libraries in order to break our search habits and therefore our choice habits. You see, over time you develop search patterns to get you to a solution as quickly as possible. You also develop preferences within those search solutions. Which means... you're searching a quite smaller population of music cuts than you think.
Now, that's absolutely a me problem. I won't lie. But Creative Me problems have a broad range of solutions among which is this classic: 
Change how you do what you do.
And that's what the new library presents: a change up both in how we search for that one song we're looking for... as well as the kind of songs we'll find and then listen to and then choose. It's a feature not a bug of the creative process that, well...
Okay.
Change is the feature and not a bug of my creative process. It prevents me from locking myself into one choice when there are infinite choices. Were I at the top of a building with tourist binoculars, it would be like forgetting that I can swivel the binoculars 180 degrees to see so much more than if I left it locked in one position looking at only one thing the whole time.
That's what I mean by search habits and choice habits. And why sometimes I've gotta change how I do...
What I do.

got a worm nibbling my brain. can someone help me find a piece of obscure media?
webcomic/indie comic from the 2010s. basically a sci-fi short story about a young girl (with red hair?) who was being raised by scientists as part of an experiment. she receives a haircut/has her head shaved, in preparation for her annual brain scan/testing. it is revealed that while her body is human, her "brain" is artificial, made of computer implants throughout her skull and spine. at some point her biological mother (also a scientist on the same campus?) encounters her and is repulsed, viewing her as a machine who has murdered her daughter.
it was very poignant and it bruised my heart and i can NOT find it anywhere

For anyone who hasn't seen them before, Hidden Search Operators are handy tricks you can use when you're either searching or filtering AO3.
summary: string is a generic way of explaining that you can search AO3 for a specific word that appears in a summary. You can do this from the search bar in the header, from the Any Field box at the top of the Advanced Search form, or from the Search Within Results box at the bottom of the filter menu.
Examples:
summary: Bruce
summary: "Bruce Banner"
summary: Bruce OR summary: Banner OR summary: Hulk
You need to put quotation marks around your search term if it is more than one word. The quotes make sure that the site searches for those two words together.
The other two operators listed work best in the Search Within Results box.
expected_number_of_chapters: 1 will return results where every fic has only 1 chapter currently posted.
You can use expected_number_of_chapters: -1 if you want results where every fic has more than 1 chapter currently posted.
otp:true will return results where there is only 1 relationship tag on the fic. If you want results where there are 2+ relationship tags (and no fics with only 1 relationship tag) then you can use otp:false

Kinda want to write a Spock POV post-fal-tor-pan fic where Spock sees Jim and is instantly whammed with the fact that he's in love with him, but still has no idea why or what that means, so he just goes around with a knot of love tangled in his mind, utterly baffled as to why it's there or how to figure it out. He can't ask the kolinahr adepts, because it feels un-vulcan, so instead he's just. confusedly pining the entire time.
Jim smiles sappily at him and Spock's like "My Heart Is Beating Faster. Why Is My Heart Beating Faster. There Is No Cause For My Heart To Be Beating Faster. Do I Have Tachycardia."
Spock, to McCoy: Doctor, is there history of heart disease in my family?
Bones, suspicious: Yes? Why? (already surreptitiously scanning Spock w/ a tricorder)
Spock: I have noticed concerning irregularities in my heart beat. They occur primarily around Admiral Kirk.
Bones, freezing: Repeat that for me, Spock?
Spock: I have noti-
Bones: No, not that, the next bit! Where they happen!
Spock: Ah. Around Admiral Kirk.
[FIVE MINUTES LATER]
Spock, annoyed: Doctor, cease laughing. I fail to understand what part of my medical condition you find so amusing.
Bones, still wheezing with laughter: Don't - don't you worry your little head about it, Spock. You're not sick, that's the important thing. (interrupts himself by laughing again) You'll (wheeze) figure it out eventually.
(Spock, disgruntled, gives up on him and leaves.)
(McCoy keeps laughing for another ten minutes.)

It seems exactly like the sort of thing they'd do. If the past years have taught me anything, it's that men in positions of power (or hoping to get there) do the most outrageous shit.
apparently wired yanked that op-ed about Google rewriting search queries
