Appendix D - Search tool
Type
The T YPE field allows you to search for assets that belong to a specific asset type, like
images, cel animations, Xmedia objects, among others. When combined with other fields,
the T
YPE field is very helpful in limiting the search’s results to only particular types of asset.
For example, if you need image or cel animation assets that contain a car, these fields
would return results that are precisely limited to that criteria and you wouldn’t have to sort
through all of the other types of assets that contain cars.
By default, the T YPES field is set to A LL T YPES , meaning that no restrictions will be placed
on what type of assets will be returned. To limit your search to only one particular type, or
certain types of assets only, you use either the field’s drop-down list, or the S
ELECT T YPES
TO S EARCH dialog box (figure 16-2 ).
