Grass Valley GV STRATUS Installation v.3.1 - Manual (Page 165)

The advanced query syntax available when you enter text is as follows:
• If you search on one or more words (with no search syntax), the search returns assets that match
all the words in any order. This is the Boolean "AND" operator. This is a change from previous
versions, where this was a phrase search.
• Search syntax is as follows:
• If you enter words surrounded by quotation marks, the search returns assets that match that
exact phrase, with the words in the exact order.
• Text surrounded by quotation marks is searched literally. Any search syntax or operators
within the quotation marks are interpreted as plain text instead.
• Simple boolean operators AND, OR and NOT are supported. Enter these operators in all
capital letters.
• Parenthesis control the precedence of the boolean operations.
The following are advanced query syntax examples. Each example is followed by the steps the GV
STRATUS system goes through as it processes the search:
• “the quick brown” (fox OR dog) jumped over the NOT lazy cat
1. Contains the phrase “the quick brown” AND
2. Contains ‘fox’ or ‘dog’ AND
3. Contains ‘jumped’ AND
4. Contains ‘over’ AND
5. Contains ‘the’ AND
6. Does not contain ‘lazy’ AND
7. Contains ‘cat’
• abc AND (def OR ghi)
1. Contains ‘abc’ AND
2. Contains ‘def’ OR ‘ghi’
• abc AND def OR ghi
1. Contains ‘abc’ AND ‘def’ OR
2. Contains ‘ghi'
The Advanced Search Toggle button next to the Simple Search tool provides additional capabilities
to the search tool.
