Find Dandisets Faster with Advanced Search

Until now, searching the DANDI Archive dandiset list meant typing free text and hoping the words you chose appeared somewhere in a dandiset’s metadata. That works well for finding a dataset you already know by name, but it’s a blunt instrument when you want to ask a more specific question — “Which dandisets have mouse electrophysiology data published since 2024?” or “What has my lab contributed?”

The search box now understands a structured, Gmail/GitHub-style syntax that lets you mix free-text terms with key:value operators. You can filter by creation date, species, file type, contributor, role, funder, affiliation, owner, and more — all from the same input you already use.
