Filter Smarter in NZBGet with Eweka’s Quick Filter Guide

When using NZBGet with Eweka, Quick Filter helps you find specific queue or history items without scrolling. This guide outlines how to apply Quick Filter efficiently.

Using the Filter

Enter keywords or partial strings into the Quick Filter input. NZBGet will highlight matching items in real time.

Supported Filters

Name: Search by article title
Group: Partial or full match on Usenet group names
Status: Filter by paused, queued, error, completed
Category: Search by group label or user-defined category
Script Status: View results from post-processing scripts
ID: Enter job ID numbers for exact matches

Match Examples

Use error to show all failed articles
Type a group prefix like alt.binaries. to isolate those
Input TV to display queue items in the TV category
Type a script result like pp-failed to see failed post-processing tasks

Reminder

Quick Filter is non-destructive—it only changes what’s visible, not your queue’s actual state.
