About searching with filters
Using a filter, you can search assets by name, description, or other specific criteria.
You can also use a filter if you are searching for a fragment of metadata.
You can also use a filter in conjunction with text in the asset name or asset metadata
text fields. If you search using a text field and a filter, only assets that have the search
term and meet the specified criteria are returned.
You can create an unlimited number of filters and save them as part of a search. Filters
can be used as independent search criteria or together with a text search that uses
Boolean operators, fragments of asset names, or other asset metadata. Creating a
keyword-based filter or an association-based filter lets you find logical assets that are
associated with specific criteria.
For example, if you wanted to find assets associated with a specific device, such as a
K2 or an M-Series MDI, you could create a filter that looks for either device.
You can also create a filter that specifically excludes a device.
If more than one filter is defined, an AND operator is implied between them.
