Searching by a Single Term
Referencing the concepts described above, you can use the following process to create a new search that is based on a single-term. Whenever you add a term, you have the option of clicking on the term in the Search header to alter any criteria associated with it. If you begin to alter the search term and change your mind, you can press the ESC key on the keyboard to abort the changes and revert the term to its original settings.
If your MediaCentral Cloud UX system is configured with Phonetic Index and you add a search term of type Any or Phonetic and you add a special character such a “+” to the term, the Search app responds with the following warning:
The search term '<value>' contains characters that are not allowed in phonetic search. The following characters will be removed from the search term: <list of values>
After you click OK to the warning message, the invalid characters are removed from the search term.
After creating a term, you can click the X in the right-side of any term to delete it from your search. Alternatively, you can click the Clear Search button to remove all phrases from your search simultaneously and populate the Search Header with a new blank term. If you remove a term from your search, the search results are updated automatically to reflect the change.
To search using a single search term:
1. (optional) Change the default search type by doing one of the following:
Click the Search Type icon within the first term in the Search header or press Shift-Down (arrow), and select a search type from the short menu.
Open the short menu, click the More button to reveal the long menu, and click the name of a primary or secondary search type to add it directly to the search term.
You can exit the Search Type menu at any time by pressing the ESC key on the keyboard.
2. Enter custom data into the search term, including data for any required qualifiers.
3. Click the Search button in the Search header or press Enter on the keyboard.
The search is executed and the Results area is populated with all matching assets. If you have the Search Sidebar displayed, the counters to the right of each filter are updated to provide additional detail regarding the returned assets.
