KaladinWorldsinger Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Now I was searching for WoBs about the 'God Beyond' but it gives me WoBs that have the word God and WoBs that have the word Beyond, which is very irritating. For example Quote Gordon The paintings (I think there were at least two, right?) that remind Lightsong of his dreams and the Manywar etc. Is the Artist someone we know? If not, will we eventually meet him/her in a later book? Does the artist hope to affect Lightsong this way, or is it just some guy giving abstract art to his God? Jared Is the artist that painted those paintings Hoid? Brandon Sanderson Hoid did not make the paintings. The goal of those paintings—and this is spoilery, by the way—the paintings are actually what the text implies that they are. They are abstract paintings which Lightsong, having a touch of the divine, is able to see and read into things that aren't necessarily there. Beyond that, art is a magical thing in the world of WARBREAKER. When an artist creates a work of art, part of the artist's soul ends up in the artwork. Someone who has many breaths and who's Returned like Lightsong has the inherent ability to see into the art and perceive that. So Lightsong can interpret correctly an abstract piece, based on what the artist is trying to convey, in a way that a normal person couldn't. I was not trying to make the artists anyone specifically important. In the case of those paintings, they are wonderful artists—I think they are two separate artists, if I'm thinking of the two paintings that you're indicating. As Lightsong has a splinter of divine nature inside him, he is able to interpret the paintings—to foresee, using them, and to see into the soul of the person who made them. This Wob gets LinkedIn because it has the word 'God' in it. Is there a way to search for a specific phrase? Also is there a way for me to search the WoBs where I know it has two unconnected words? Like can I get only the Wobs that has the two words i wrote even if they are not in a phrase? Example all the WoBs that that talk about both Odium and cultivation. Can I search for that? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frustration Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Use either + or & instead of spaces. For example searching God+Beyond, would get you what you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantus Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 In the case of the God Beyond example, you can also search by the dedicated tag for that topic. Sometimes I get the best results using combinations keywords and the tag filters. https://wob.coppermind.net/adv_search/?query=&tags=god+beyond 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Put the phrase in quotes. See https://wob.coppermind.net/help/search 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firesong Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 What I always did was look up "God Beyond" and then do a Ctrl + F and search it again. And note, when you put words together like that, usually the first WoBs that appear are ones that deal with that specific combination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
