Search

The search allows you to quickly find files and documents in your repository. The system offers an extensive set of search criteria such as full-text search, file type, date of last modification, image colors, geo location, and allows you to reduce the search to object names only.

Search terms can be linked using the terms "AND" and "OR", for example: science AND fiction (AND and OR must be written in capital).

The following characters can be used as operators:

+ …	A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present
- …	A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present
no operator …	By default (when neither + nor - is specified) the word is optional
* …	The asterisk serves as the truncation (or wild-card) operator. Unlike the other operators, it should be appended to the word to be affected
"…	A phrase that is enclosed within double quote characters must be present as the phrase literally, as it was typed.

The search is integrated in 3 different parts of the graphical user interface:

i.The search without any advanced options in the top bar

ii.The search with advanced options in the navigator frame

iii.The search in the workplace frame that offers more advanced options including the search and replace feature. This type of search will only search in the defined area in a publication and therefore requires the user to select assets or pages in the Navigator.

3. The search in the workplace frame

After searching for an object you can display or edit files from the result list by selecting a file via mouse click or by selecting an action from the context menu (right mouse click on the object).

Also an advanced search can be accessed by selecting the second tab. This allows you to quickly find content based on a search on single elements.

The advanced picture search, located in the 4th tab, facilitates searching for pictures. It allows one to do specific search for picture size, main color, or file type.

The “search and replace“ function allows editors to search a document for a term and replace it automatically with any text. All replaced text passages are displayed in a list where the changes can be checked once again before publishing. This feature is only available in connection with a server license.
