Kudos for the nice work @tgxworld . This opens up multiple possibilities.
Just curious to know if it could provide a contextual filtering option ?
For eg. If I select announcements category from sidebar, can we show the filter panel (the new one you have created) at the top to filter by multiple tags (chat, new-feature) within the category.
Currently one cannot filter by multiple tags as an end user intuitively - manually we have to use /tags/interesection/chat/new-feature endpoint. End users may not be aware of this possibility especially to do it within a category.

O good catch. I have a fix for tags in
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/21405](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/21405)
The `category` filter will need a similar fix but it is slightly more complicated. I should have it completed by next week.

There’s a missing translation string when a new topic appears in `/filter`:
`[en.topic_count_all count=1]`

The feature sounds solid and will definitely help building better & customized feeds of topics for our users! Thank you!
Meanwhile I have a question if this feature allows us to approach embedding latest **posts** from across multiple topics within specific categories/tags?

No, that’s not currently part of the plan here, I don’t think.
If you give the current feature a try as is and still find this is something you’d like to be able to do, can you start a new topic about it with a bit more detail about what you’re thinking?

Thanks for this very useful feature!

Would it be possible to also add `created-by:me` or something similar that automatically filters for topics created by the current user? This would of course be similar to `/my/activity/topics` , but it might be useful for combining with other filters and adding it to the sidebar for all users.
Also, how about a `in:participated` filter for all topics that I have posted in regardless of their tracking/notification setting?

This is great! 🙏 I’d also love to have support for `status:unsolved`. I also think it would be great if we could construct a filter with something like `assigned:me` so that the result is different, depending on the user. Use case: a bot that messages our moderators with links they can click to pull up their assigned topics. This would be handy so that we can have a generic message that is sent to all moderators with links to all the queries they need to reference when moderating the forum. Obviously, they can navigate to the assigned topics easily from the web UI, but I think it would be a small QoL improvement if they can click a link or bookmark.

There is some precedence for this kind of thing in the current feature, so I think we can certainly consider other things like this:

Hi,
Can someone let me know if this is in the public version or some sort of beta? Didn’t find the setting.

Hi Tony 👋
Is your instance up-to-date?
I have the setting on my test forum:
It’s also available on Discourse Hosted forums, not only self-hosted.
As stated it’s “experimental”, which means there might/will be many changes over time, and bugs or inconsistency to expect.

I already find this very helpful to explain basic functionality of Discourse to community managers new to the platform. That is: _We have a collection of topics and we can filter and sort them in many ways._
So far, these filters have been spread out across the interface, but the filter route offers one central place to access and learn about the available options:
With this in mind, I’d find it helpful to have two more options included:
- in the **Date** section, also filter by relative time (last week, month, year,..)
- in the **Sort** section, also sort by popularity (which is different to number of likes)

I like the feature. I would like to be able to search just for plain text though. Sometimes I find my self needing to find a deleted topic but dont know what user made it so I need to go through a bunch before I find it instead of juts being able to search through deleted with a key word(s)

I think the aspiration is to wire this up to the Search at some point in the future for parity, though I’m afraid there’s no definitive timeline on that.

Can you sort / order the result by the number of replies or number of votes? I was hoping to use this to list feature requests ordered by community interest, while filtering out those tagged as ‘implemented’. However, it doesn’t seem to be an option.
My use case is described in more detail [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/filter-topics-without-a-specific-tag/80253/10).
