The search bar allows user to use simple search with keywords that will find and display the most relevant assets found.
It is the search triggered by default when you use the main text bar, and looks for the entered keyword in title, description, filename, tags, along with all custom metadata.
Sorted by relevance (sorting adjustable afterward).
In the search keyword, any non-alphanumeric character is taken as a separator (eg "-" or "_") and the operation between those sub-keywords is AND.
If this search is used along with filters (mentioned below), it will be an AND operation between them.
The results returned by this search are divided into 2 sections, in order:
Exact: all complete sequences of alphanumeric characters (at least) are matched.
Partial/Fuzzy (aka extended): truncated sequence of alphanumeric characters, including small variations (e.g. typo), provided relevance is above a threshold (70% by default).
It is activated by typing the @ sign and selecting one of the dedicated search operator (filename,...). This allows user to search in specific fields - file, metadata, asset properties, etc.
User can also use the Context dropdown to narrow down the search scope to a specific folder or to Favourites.
Assets can be filtered by their creation or last modification date using pre-defined or custom time frames
With the format filter, user can choose from a list of asset types or file formats depending on the content of the DAM container
Filtering by filesize by entering a size range
This option allows user to filter by selecting one or more tags in the container
The metadata filter allows user to select multiple metadata fields as well as multiple values for each field and apply them as filters
The image group of filters lets user filter by image dimensions/resolution, contents, color or aspect ratio
A new filter called "Products" has been added to the search bar, allowing users to filter results based on the product_ref field. This feature lets users search for multiple product values at once and easily combine product references with any other metadata filter or grouping.Users must go to the Preferences section under the Project tab and toggle the Products Filter setting to enable this filter. Once enabled, the "Products" filter will be available for use in the search bar.
