About Stem-Based Searching
Stem-based searching is the way in which SmartClient normally performs text searches.
When you enter a word in the Any Text box (or in a Name or Title filter) SmartClient
identifies the stem of that word - the group of letters that form the main section of the word
and which also appear in words that are closely related to it. For example, "sail-" is the stem
of sailing, sailed and sailor. SmartClient can find any words that have the same stem.
This makes it easy for you to specify text as search criteria when you are unsure about the
form of a particular word in a text field; you do not have to enter all the variations of this
word, just any word that contains the stem.
In displaying search results, SmartClient includes a Matched Words list. This contains all
words, appearing in database text fields, that have the same stem as a search term.
Specifying the Sort Order for Search Results
You can set up SmartClient to order search results in a number of ways:
• By name in alphabetical order.
• By date of creation, modification or production, starting with the earliest or latest.
• By duration, starting with the longest or shortest.
• By relevance, determined by the frequency of search terms in database text fields. A
search term that matches a search word assigned to a clip as a search hint increases the
relevance of that clip.
You specify the sort order, before starting a search, by selecting an option from the Sort
drop-down list:
