Filtering & Search

With hundreds of posts in a project, filtering and search let you focus on exactly the posts you need to work on.

Search bar with a query entered, post list showing filtered results The search bar filters the post list in real time.

Type in the search bar to filter posts. By default, Sparge searches post titles. Use the scope selector to change what’s searched:

Scope Searches
Title Post title only (fast)
Body Full post body text (server-side search across all posts)
Both Title and body

Search scope selector showing Title, Body, and Both options Switch between Title, Body, and Both search modes.

Note: Body search performs a server-side text search across all your HTML files. It’s thorough but slightly slower than title search on large archives.

Issue-type filters

Issue-type filter buttons in the filter bar Click an issue-type button to show only posts with that issue.

The filter bar contains a button for each HTML issue type. Click one to show only posts that have that specific issue. This is useful for batch-working — for example, fixing all external_image issues across your archive at once. Click the button again to deselect the filter.

Author and reviewed filters

For multi-author blogs, the Author dropdown filters posts by author. The Reviewed toggle shows only posts you’ve marked as reviewed (or only unreviewed posts).

Combining filters

All filters work together. A search query combined with an issue-type filter and the Reviewed toggle shows only matching unreviewed posts with that specific issue — useful for tracking remaining work.

Clear all filters by clearing the search bar and clicking any active filter buttons again.
