12. Searching the Database
12.1. Search Types
When the database contains large amounts of data, it may become difficult to find a
specific element. The Database Explorer offers several tools to restrict the list of
elements displayed in the Element grid and speed up your search:
• Branch selection in the Tree view - Select a branch of the Tree view to limit the list to
some item types.
• Quick text search - Enter free text in the Quick Text Search field to perform a search
on a specific string.
• Quick timecode search – Enter a timecode value in the Quick Timecode field to
perform a quick search on a specific timecode.
• Advanced search filter – Enter specific criteria in the grid filters to perform a search on
a specific metadata of the elements.
• clips not present in a selected playlist
These search tools are explained in detail below.
All these search tools can be combined.
An applied filter can be saved for later use. Such a saved filter can then be applied in one
click.
A search can also be facilitated by ordering the Elements grid. See section "Element Grid"
on page 12 for more information.
12.2. Branch Selection in the Database Tree
The Database Explorer is presented in a tree structure, much like Windows Explorer.
The Tree view allows browsing and performing search in the database and the nearline.
By browsing the tree structure, a selection is made and displayed in the Element grid.
