Query Syntax#

yamu supports simple query strings for list commands.

Field queries#

Use field:value to match fields (substring for text fields, exact for numeric fields):

yamu list platform:steam
yamu list status:beaten
yamu list release_date:2004

Free-text terms match the default field (title) using case-insensitive substring search:

yamu list "half life"

Multiple terms are combined with AND semantics:

yamu list platform:steam "half life"

Use a double colon to run a regex against a specific field:

yamu list title::^half

To search all fields with a regex, prefix the pattern with a single colon:

yamu list :Half-Life

Regexes are case-sensitive. To list games missing an art path, use:

yamu list artpath::^$
