Pull-Down Menus Provide options for certain
fields. For example, the Bit Depth pull-down
provides choices for Any, 16-bit, or 24-bit.
Date and Time Accepts date and time entries in a
variety of formats.
Time Code Uses standard Pro Tools time code
entry shortcuts in hh:min:sec:frames.
Search Modifiers
Certain fields have small pull-down menus con-
taining modifiers, which limit the search criteria
entered in the field.
Modifiers include:
• Equal to (=)
• Not Equal to (!=)
• Less Than (<)
• Greater Than (>)
• Less Than or Equal to (<=)
• Greater Than or Equal To (>=)
• Range (<…>)
About Range-Limited When enabled, a second
search field is added so that a range of two val-
ues can be entered (such as two dates). Pro Tools
finds all items that fall between or are equal to
those two values.
Wildcard Characters (* and ?)
An asterisk (*) can be entered at the beginning
or end of a text entry when you want to perform
wildcard searches. For example, if you want to
find all files with a name that ends with scratch,
you could enter *scratch in the Search field. This
finds files with names such as vocal.scratch, and
dialog2.scratch.
A question mark (?) can be used for single-char-
acter wildcards. For example, a search on f?ee
finds free, and flee. A similar search on f*ee finds
frendlee, flippee, flee, free, and so on.
OR Searches
The Plus (+) and Minus (–) buttons add and de-
lete OR rows to find results that match the crite-
ria either in the top row or the additional rows.
To add and use OR rows in a search:
1 Click the (+) button to add an OR row identi-
cal to the upper row, but with no entries in the
search fields.
2 To add an additional OR row, click the Plus (+)
button again. (An empty OR row has no effect
on the search.)
3 Enter search criteria.
For example, to find all files named either Dog
or Bark:
• Type Dog in the first File Name field.
• Add an OR row.
• Type Bark in the second File Name field.
4 Click Search.
To remove OR rows:
„
Click the Minus (–) button to delete the bot-
tom OR row.
AND Searches
If you enter two or more words in a text field,
Pro Tools finds files that contain all of those
words. For example, if you type Dog Bark, only
files that contain both the words Dog and Bark
are found.
