From The Complete Guide to Google Wave: How to Use Google Wave
"Tip: Hold down the Shift key to select multiple waves in the Search panel, then click the Move to button to file several waves in a folder at once." - should clarify that this is only multiple consecutive waves
- Great point, done. --GinaTrapani 01:08, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
Missed lang:en (and the corresponding operator for other languages). This is the most useful operator. --Casebash 05:22, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- Great one! Added. Do you know what the full list of working values than en is? Is this documented anywhere? --GinaTrapani 01:15, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- A google engineer mentioned it in a Wave, can't remember where
Look at more recipes here: https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252Baty4StlMH --Casebash 05:22, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Also, doesn't really cover inbox management. Try here: https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BIMxBQWCOH. I link to another wave on inbox management. --Casebash 05:22, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- Both excellent public waves, added them here, thanks. --GinaTrapani 01:20, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
"group" search qualifier?
I've also seen a "group" search term, for example:
- group:public@a.gwave.com
I found this by adding public@a.gwave.com to my contacts. There was then a "Group Waves" button in the contact panel. Mckoss 00:41, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, that group operator works, but Wave's group support is still very broken/undocumented/unstable, so I'm going to leave it out for now (especially since
with:publicworks so well for the public group). But I'm keeping an eye on group support in general and will add when things don't involve wonkey Google Groups interactions. --GinaTrapani 01:20, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- Update on this: Google has announced group support, so I'll add this operator to the list. Thanks! --GinaTrapani 00:20, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Correction and tip for "is:note"
Where it says, "is:note … All waves in which you are the only participant.", that is not precisely what is:note finds. Is:note finds all waves that contain wavelets where you are the only participant. This means it works for waves you write to yourself, but it also works to find private replies that you write to yourself.
So later, the paragraph beginning with, "See waves you've created for private use with is:note:" could instead talk about finding both private waves and private wavelets. Cheers!

Tags in the Search Panel
I only see Tags in the third panel, below the Wave itself, not, as it says on this page, in the Search panel. - Roger Tessier December 9, 2009
- When a tagged wave appears in the Search panel, tags are listed on it. --GinaTrapani 00:22, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Hmmmm ... I must be missing something. Here's an example Tags in Search panel? I can't see Tags in the Search panel.
