Appendix D - Search tool
Advanced search criteria fields, controls, and summary
The advanced search interface retrieves assets by performing a query using the search
criterias that you build using searchable metadata properties. As figure
16-4 demonstrates,
a query can contain one or many search criterias, which are listed in the Criteria panel.
However, a search criteria can only contain one property.
Figure 16-4. An advanced search query is based on the search criteria’s metadata properties
You build a search criteria using the A DD A NEW CRITERIA dialog box (figure 16-4 ), which is
accessed by clicking the A DD button on the advanced search interface. A search criteria
must only contain one metadata property, which you select from the P ROPERTIES drop-down
list. You can then set conditions to qualify the property (i.e. E QUAL TO , B EFORE , C ONTAINS ,
G REATER THAN ...etc.) and specify a specific search string (i.e. text, date, digits...etc.). A
functional description of each of the available metadata properties is provided in “Advanced
Search Properties” on page 16-13 .
A search criteria’s property can contain one or many conditions. When using multiple
conditions for a property you have to specify in the C
ONDITIONS panel how you want the
conditions to interact. Using the A DD setting combines the conditions, which generally
makes the search more restrictive. Again using figure 16-4 as an example, using the A DD
A query is based on the set of search
criteria listed in the Criteria panel.
Properties can have one or many conditions.
(i.e. the AgencyName property has 2 conditions: Reuters and Associated Press)
Each search criteria contains
one metadata property
(i.e. CreationDate / AgencyName)
