Explore and Search

Beyond the latest articles on Home, you can browse by topic or by month, or search for articles by keyword.

Explore​

Open the Explore tab. From top to bottom you'll find:

  • Search field — tap it to switch to the Search tab.
  • Categories — each category with its article count (including its subcategories). Categories with subcategories can be expanded so you can pick a subcategory.
  • Archive — months grouped by year; tap a month to see the articles published then.

Tap a category or month to open its article list:

  • The number of articles is shown at the top. If there are subcategories, they appear as a row of chips so you can switch between them.
  • More articles load automatically as you scroll down.
  • Pull down to refresh.
Two-column layout on iPad

On iPad and other wide screens, Explore shows the category list on the left and the article list on the right. Until you pick one, the right side shows "Choose a category".

There's no overview page for tags or authors. To see their articles, tap a tag at the bottom of an article, or the author in an article.

Open the Search tab and type a keyword in the search bar (the placeholder reads Search articles):

  • Instant search — results appear about 0.5 seconds after you stop typing; no need to submit. Both titles and article text are searched.
  • Results — shown as Results for “keyword”; more load as you scroll down.
  • No results — you'll see No results. Try different or shorter keywords.
  • When you're offline — you'll see "You're offline, so search isn't available. Check your connection and try again." Search needs an internet connection.
  • Browse by Category — before you type anything, categories are listed below; tap one to browse it.

Recent Searches​

  • Before you type, your Recent Searches are listed (up to 10). Tap one to search again.
  • A search is only saved when you submit it with the Search key on the keyboard; instant results aren't saved.
  • Tap Clear All to the right of the Recent Searches heading to clear them all, or tap the × next to an entry to remove just that one.
  • Recent searches are stored only on your device.

When you tap a yucdu.com link to a category, tag, author or monthly archive inside an article, YucDu opens the matching article list in the app. Tapping a yucdu.com link in another app or a browser usually opens it directly in YucDu as well.
