| onlywith:name | Finds all waves where name is the only participant (name is either your own, or a group you belong to). |
| dfrom:name | Finds all waves with a direct message from name or waves with only two participants, where name is a contributor. |
| dto:name | Finds all direct messages to name, or waves with only two participants, where the other participant is also a contributor. |
| is:note | Finds all waves in which you are the only participant. |
| Note: The keyword me can be used with all of the above operators to search for yourself. | |
| is:read | Finds all waves where all messages within the wave (including all private replies) have been read . |
| is:unread | Finds all waves with at least one message that has not been read. |
| is:filed | Searches over waves that have been filed into one of your folders. |
| is:unfiled | Searches over waves that have not been filed (and are either still in:inbox or only in:all ) |

Examples
You can search is:unread japan to search for “japan” in unread waves. Similarly, with:public apple will discover all public waves with term “apple”.
You can also use many search operators together to refine results. To exclude certain waves use – (minus sign) before the operator, as –tag:work will exclude all waves tagged as work.
