The search is 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.
