Search for Content
Search for assets whose name, asset ID, or external ID contains a keyword by typing one or more word(s) in the search box that appears in the portal’s upper-right hand corner.
By default, search results are sorted by creation date, starting with the most recently created asset.
The currently selected item in the side navigation tab determines what will be searched:
-
All Content: Search results are limited to your assets.
-
Playlists: Search results are limited to the assets associated with the currently selected playlist.You may also search for assets when adding them to a playlist. By default, those search results are limited to your assets. However, you may limit search results to a specific library by selecting it from the Library option.
-
Library: Search results are limited to the currently selected library.
-
Shared Library: Search results are limited to the currently selected shared library.
By default, a search result must match at least one whole word defined within your search phrase.
Use a wildcard to search for partial words. For example searching for
basket will only return search results that contain the word basket, while searching for basket* will also return search results that contain baskets and basketball.Refine Searches
Use search operators and special characters to refine your searches.
Search Operators
Use the following search operators to define the scope of a search:
| Search Operator | Description |
|---|---|
| source | Restrict a search to the desired type of asset. Valid values are:
Example: Finds assets generated by a live event whose name contains the basketball keyword: +basketball, source: +event |
| id: | Search by asset ID. Example: id:6f3c092e8bd94911a2e7ce29d81c9849 |
| name: | Search by an asset’s name. Example: Find assets whose name contains the phrase 2023 Conference.name:"2023 Conference" |
| external: | Search by an asset’s external ID. Example: external:basketball |
| meta: | Search by an asset’s metadata. Syntax (Any metadata field that contains a specific value): meta:ValueSyntax (field name and value): meta:Field=Value{Field} is case-sensitive.Both {Field} and {Value} support the space character (e.g., meta: My First Field=Just Another Value).Example: Search for assets with a metadata field that contains the word image: meta:imageSearch for assets whose class metadata field contains the word image: meta:class=image |
Use a comma to separate a phrase search from a search operator (e.g.,
conference, meta: image).You may add an optional space directly after the colon. For example, both
name:2023 and name: 2023 return the same search results.Special Characters
Use the following special characters to fine-tune your search results:
| Special Character | Description |
|---|---|
| "" | Enclose a phrase with quotation marks to require the entire phrase. Example: Search for assets that contain the phrase basketball convention: "basketball convention" |
| - | Filter out search results that contain a specific word. Example: Search for assets that contain the phrase basketball convention that do not contain the word 2022: “basketball convention” -2022 |
| + | Require search results to contain a specific word or phrase. Specify a phrase by enclosing two or more words within double quotes. Example: Require all search results to contain the word league and the search phrase basketball game: +league +"basketball game" |
| * | Performs a wildcard search. Example: Search for assets that contain asket. Search results could potentially include casket, basket, and basketball.*asket* |
| , | Use a comma to delimit search criteria. Example: Search for assets whose external ID starts with ma and whose name contains the word blue, but must not contain the word purple: external: ma*, name: +blue -purple |
