performed using the combination of search criteria on all three tabs.
• Search by text – If you know all or part of an asset name, use the Text tab. Select the text entry
control, then type all or part of the asset name in the “Enter Search Text” dialog box. The
default text search mode is “any word” or “word portion”. For example, if you enter the word
fire, search will find all asset names that contain fire, for example, fires and house fire. For
an “exact phrase” search, use a single quote or double quote to specify the phrase. For example,
if you enter “forest fire”, search will locate all asset names that contain the phrase forest fire.
If the Search names only… option is selected, the search is applied to asset names. If not
selected, the search includes all asset metadata.
• Search by date – If you are searching for assets created or modified within a specific date or
time range, use the Date tab. By default, the All Dates box is selected. To specify date criteria,
select the Find items option to enable the controls under it. Use the drop-down list to choose

• Select the between option, and then specify a date range. Click the edit control to display
a calendar for easy input.

recent number of minutes, hours, days, or months.
• Search by Type – In the Type tab, select the type of assets— clips, programs or lists to be
searched. Search results will only include the selected types.
3. Once you have selected the search criteria, click OK to start the search.
The search results are displayed in the Clips pane. The text in the Current Bin control is replaced
with a brief summary of the search. For example, Search: movie - indicates all the clips, programs
and lists with names like movie1, movie2, or Search: Created Last 7 Days for assets created in the
last week.
When you perform a search, the most recent four searches are displayed. The older ones get removed.
At any one time, you see four searches at most in the bin list. There is no way to delete these.
