Some of the options for the arguments can be found through filterlist. For all the arguments, to search for multiple values of the key at the same time, add more keys and values: e.g. t[]=announcement&t[]=aeannouncement searches for announcements and educational announcements.

t is the 'types'. e.g. t[]=aeannouncement searches for educational announcements. y is the 'Year'. e.g. y[]=2021. l is the 'Location'. e.g. l[]=Amsterdam. i is the 'Institution'. e.g. i[]=Bard College. p is the 'Artists, Authors, and Curators. e.g. p[]=A.L. Steiner. s is 'Subjects'. e.g. s[]=Abstraction. c is 'Categories'. e.g. c[]=Aesthetics. order allows to sort by relevance, newest or oldest. ed filters by 'Calender', allowing a start and end date (inclusive). e.g. ed[]=2024-07-19,2024-07-19. (The date doesn't seem to strictly be the date of publishing or the date of the exhibition but it allow any exhibition that has dates overlapping with the date selection.)
