Searching the List
The simplest method for searching is to type a keyword (or keywords) into the Search field above the Database/
Browser:
1. Click the Database heading in the Browser pane to select it.
2. Click in the Search field and type in your search term(s). Terms can include an artist’s name, a song title, BPM,
etc.
3. As soon as you start typing, Torq will begin searching the Database for the letters you have typed. There is no
need to hit the Enter key on your keyboard.
4. When you stop typing, you’ll have a list of all files that contain the search term in one of its fields.
For example, if you type the word “love” into the search field, Torq could return the following results:
Artist* Song Album
Deee-Lite Power of Love World Clique
Jennifer Love Hewitt Can’t Stand in the Way of Love Let’s Go Bang
Love and Rockets Angels and Devils Express
Madonna I’d Rather Be Your Lover Bedtime Stories
Sade Flow Lover’s Rock
< Search Categories
As you can see, the above search worked—it found songs that contained the word “love” in any category.
However, this may not be quite what you were looking for. You may have actually wanted files with “love” in the
song’s name only. To search for such titles, you’ll need to confine the scope of the search to the Song category
only.
To confine a search to a particular category:
1. Hold down the SHIFT key and click a category name. The category name will turn red.
2. Torq will refine its search results and only show songs that contain your search term within the selected
field.
3. You can hold SHIFT and click additional categories if you wish (i.e. you can select Song and Album
simultaneously).
4. SHIFT-clicking a selected category will de-select it.
Using our example above, confining the search to the Song category would yield the following results:
Artist* Song Album
Deee-Lite Power of Love World Clique
Jennifer Love Hewitt Can’t Stand in the Way of Love Let’s Go Bang
Madonna I’d Rather Be Your Lover Bedtime Stories
Now, only the songs with “love” in their titles are shown.
