Wildcards

march|april|may|ju*|august

The wildcard in ju* means that both june and july will be freebie segments.

Numbers

You can set an option to automatically ignore all number-only segments – this is useful for using urls like blog/2010/20/ in Structure.

Break segments

Break segments are entered just like Freebie segments, but instead of being ignored, break segments tell EE to ignore all following segments. Example: You’re working in Structure, and want to use author urls and dates to control a blog, like so: /blog/lucille/2010/10. If you set “blog” as a break segment, you can throw whatever you want into the URI after this point without it affecting the template or page routing.

Break on category URL indicator

If you set this option, Freebie will automatically ignore your category URL indicator and any segments past it.

Always parse pagination

This will cause Freebie to always parse pagination.

Always parse

Freebie isn’t very subtle, so sometimes it can screw with existing EE functionality or plugins (especially when you set it to ignore numeric segments). That’s why there’s ‘Always Parse’, which acts like an override, telling Freebie to stop messing with this segment and any segments after it. This is especially useful with ‘search’ templates.
