Search Page


The Search page allows a user to find items meeting specific criteria from across the entire Repository. It has a versatile query language that can be used to create complex expressions. Search queries can be quite specific with support for various advanced features:

  • One or more conditions
  • Condition groups (i.e., brackets are supported)
  • Restricting results to a folder or set of folders
  • Restricting result type (e.g., image, folders, files, etc.)
To access the Search page

The main search box is where a user enters their search terms. Depending on which package is configured, the search can be toggled between two different modes:

Display Settings

Search results can be customized with the same Display Settings used in Repository folder listings.

Search Operations

Search can be used to perform bulk operations on the items in the Repository. All Repository operations can be performed with search results, via the same Context Menu used in folder listings.

Exporting

Search results can be exported as a file in CSV format. See Exporting Results for more details.

Tagging

Search results can be bulk tagged. This allows you to quickly apply a tag or set of tags to all items that match the search query.

  1. Perform a search. See Search Overview for more details

  2. Click on the Down Arrow button next to the Search title of the page
