There are three fields per search option when using AniList's Search just like Plex's Advanced Filters in the Web UI. The first is the Attribute (what attribute you wish to search), the second is the Modifier (which modifier to use), and the third is the Term (actual term to search).

The sync_mode: sync and collection_order: custom Setting are recommended since the lists are continuously updated and in a specific order.
