About searching with filters

Using a filter, you can search assets by name, description, or other specific criteria.
You can also use a filter if you are searching for a fragment of metadata.

You can also use a filter in conjunction with text in the asset name or asset metadata
text fields. If you search using a text field and a filter, only assets that have the search
term and meet the specified criteria are returned.

You can create an unlimited number of filters and save them as part of a search. Filters
can be used as independent search criteria or together with a text search that uses
Boolean operators, fragments of asset names, or other asset metadata. Creating a
keyword-based filter or an association-based filter lets you find logical assets that are
associated with specific criteria.

If more than one filter is defined, an AND operator is implied between them.

When you create a filter, you can add it to your list of favorite filters. This allows you
to quickly access the filters.
