Advanced Search Bar Operators

Mediagraph's Search bar can be used with various operators to enhance and refine search results. These operators allow for precise and efficient searching across more than 150 different fields. 

Below is a breakdown of many of these operators, along with examples of their usage. For a list of some commonly used search fields, open the tabs at the bottom of the page.

Quick Look

How do I search for a specific filename?

Paste this string into the search bar: filename.keyword:yourfilenamehere

and How do I find all files with no keywords?

Paste this string into the search bar: NOT tag_text:**

Basic Searching

Input a term directly to search for it across all fields.

Example:

dog searches for assets containing "dog" in any searchable field.

Omitting Results

To exclude results with a search term, use the NOT operator or the minus symbol (-).

Example:

NOT dog will search for all assets that do not contain "dog" in any searchable field.

Combining Results

Multiple conditions can be combined using the AND, OR, and NOT operators:

Examples:

dog AND cat searches for assets containing both "dog" and "cat".

dog OR cat searches for assets containing either "dog" or "cat".

dog NOT cat searches for assets containing "dog" but not "cat".

Specific Fields

Specify a field, followed by a colon, to search within that field only.

Example:

tag_text:dog searches for assets with a tag containing "dog".

NOT tag_text:dog will search for all assets that do not have a keyword tag containing "dog".

Wildcard Queries

Wildcard queries can be used to find partial matches. If you want to match some, but not all, of a term, use one of two placeholder characters:  * (to match zero or more characters) and ? (to match a single character only) as placeholders.

Examples:

tag_text:part* searches for assets with any keywords starting with "part".

tag_text:*ial searches for assets with any keywords ending with "ial".

tag_text:*partial* searches for assets with any keywords containing "partial".

tag_text:p*tial searches for assets with any keywords starting with "p" and ending with "tial".

tag_text:?artial searches for assets with any 7-letter keywords ending with "artial". Results would include "partial" and "martial" but not "impartial".

tag_text:** searches for assets with any value in the keyword field.

tag_text:-** searches for assets that do not have keywords.

Complex Queries

Complex queries can be built by combining techniques and using parentheses for grouping:

Example:

(dog OR cat) AND ext:jpg searches for .jpg files with "dog" or "cat" in any field.
