What each suggestion means
Section titled “What each suggestion means”Bouncer checks every suggestion against the example link. Each one matches it, so you can pick by meaning.
The suggestions below are for the example link https://docs.example.com/guide/42. Each row shows its pattern in small text under the label.
| Suggestion | What it matches |
|---|---|
| any page on docs.example.com | Every page on that host. Selected by default. The pattern is docs.example.com/*. |
| this exact page | Only that one address. |
| any subdomain of example.com | Every host that ends in .example.com. Shown only when the link has a subdomain. The pattern is *.example.com/*. |
| custom pattern | Your own mix of fixed parts and wildcards, built from token pills. The hint reads Match select parts of the url. |
For known services the labels use the service name instead. Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, GitHub, Linear, Figma, and Notion are known. A Google Meet link offers any Google Meet link and anything on Google, for example.
When the link has a port, a second host suggestion appears without the port.
Press the Up and Down arrow keys to move between suggestions.
Custom pattern and token pills
Section titled “Custom pattern and token pills”Select custom pattern to see the token pills. Bouncer splits the example link into one pill per part: subdomain, domain, top-level domain, port, and each part of the path. Dots and slashes appear as separators.
Click a pill to switch it between its text and *. A * matches anything in that spot. The helper text reads Toggle parts to include or wildcard them.
Parts that look like IDs start as *. Numbers, long hex strings, and UUIDs count as IDs. In the example above, 42 starts as *, so the rule matches every guide.
For every wildcard and worked examples, see the Glob cheat sheet.
