GET /search/advancedstackexchange.com:mathoverflow-api
Advanced search for MathOverflow questions with multiple filter criteria. Supports searching by title, body text, tags, date ranges, score ranges, and answer status. This is the most powerful search endpoint — use it for complex queries like 'unanswered questions about algebraic geometry with score > 5'. Combines all criteria with AND logic.
Advanced search with additional filtering options
- `site=mathoverflow` is required - `q` parameter does full-text search (title + body) - `tagged` accepts semicolon-separated tags (OR) or plus-separated (AND) - `nottagged` excludes specific tags - `answers` can be 0 (no answers), 1+ (has answers), or omitted - `accepted` can be True/False to filter for accepted answers - `min` and `max` with `sort=votes` for score range queries - Date filters `fromdate` and `todate` use Unix timestamps
