Searching for assets on the Xmedia Server
Clicking the S EARCH button on the toolbar opens the S EARCH XMS window, which allows
you to quickly search for assets stored on the Xmedia Server. Once a search is launched,
assets that match the name, type, description, author, keywords and/or Recall ID are
displayed as thumbnails in P
ROXY V IEW or listed in a table in D ETAIL V IEW .
With the search results displayed in the results pane, you can:
•
Replace an existing image, clip or cel animation by dragging an asset of the equivalent
type from the search results onto a page open in Xnews.
• Open a specific Page or Template asset in Xnews by double-clicking the asset in the
search results.
• Open a specific Work Order or Job in the Work Order window by double-clicking the
asset in the search results.

The S EARCH XMS window uses Solr, which a web-based solution by the Apache group that
performs fast searches across large amounts of data. The Xmedia Server must maintain a
connection to Solr so that it can create an index of the database. See the Xmedia Server
Configuration Guide for more information.
To search for assets stored on the Xmedia Server:
1.
Click the S EARCH button to open S EARCH XMS window.
2. Type a search query in the S EARCH XMS text box.
See the Xplorer User Guide for descriptions and examples of the syntax you can use
to build more effective search queries.
3. Optional: Limit Search XMS results to specific asset types.
By default, all asset types are evaluated by the search query as indicated by the T
YPE
drop-down box set to A LL T YPES .
• To limit the search results to one asset type, select an asset type from the
T YPE drop-down list.
• To limit the search results to multiple asset types, click the Browse button
to open the Select Types To Search dialog. Select the asset types that you
want included in the search and uncheck the asset types that you want
excluded from the search results.
4. Click the button to launch the search.
Assets that satisfy the search query are displayed in the results pane of the Search
XMS window.

If an expected asset is not returned in the search results, it may be because user rights
management is enabled on the Xmedia Server and the current user does not have
permission to view the asset. See “User Rights Management” in the Xmedia Server
Configuration Guide for more information.
