Advanced search won’t currently do it, but the filter parameters mentioned in the linked post might be more helpful than it seems at first glance. Not quite as handy as an advanced search option, but maybe better than nothing: There are a few different voting factors you can filter on: ![Filter entry window where I've typed "votes" and the dropdown shows available parameters.](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/c/5/f/c5fe942c090e76b99169f1570ebf15cb8e2799f8.png) And depending on how you track things, you can either: - add `status:open` - exclude a tag with a “-” in front, like `-tag:completed` So you can see the most popular open requests with a filter like: - **category:feature status:open order:votes** - **category:feature -tag:completed order:votes** Then, for your users, you could save the filter URL to a sidebar link: - `/filter?q=category%3Afeature%20status%3Aopen%20order%3Avotes%20` - `/filter?q=category%3Afeature%20-tag%3Acompleted%20order%3Avotes%20` When a filtered view is open, the filter parameters are shown, and a user can add additional keywords to narrow it down further: ![Filter entry window with a keyword added to existing params.](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/f/2/c/f2cb048d6747049a6a602e166402f7a244a19185.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-topic-voting/40121)._
