Standard search criteria fields and controls
A standard search bases its query on the criteria that you build using the asset properties
specified on the interface.
Once you have specified your search criteria, select the S
EARCH
button to start the search.
Immediately after launching the query, the Search tool looks for matches based on your
criteria and displays the results in the Results area. The message area also displays the
status of the search and summarizes the results of the Search tool’s findings.
If your search criteria is too general, then the Search tool could retrieve more results than
are necessary, which could take time and be ineffective. At any time during the search, you
can click the S
TOP
button to immediately stop the search. The results that were retrieved up
to that point will be displayed in the Results area.
It is recommended that you be strategic when creating your search criteria. When searching
for a particular asset, be as precise as possible in the type of information that you provide
and use as many identifiers as possible to focus the search and limit the amount of
matching results. If, however, you want the search tool to return all of the assets that match
a certain criteria (i.e. all assets containing images of cars), then keep your search criteria
flexible by setting minimal restrictions and using generic identifiers.
The following topics represent the asset property fields on the standard search interface
that can be used to build a search criteria. Each topic below provides advice for how to use
the field to expand or limit your search.
