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.

Enjoy Wave. :)
