Searching for an asset by name

Do not enter more than one word in the Asset Name text field unless you want to find
both words exactly as typed with spaces.

NOTE: The Asset Name field does not recognize quotation marks.

To search for an asset by name, enter text or numbers in the Asset Name text field
and click the

Search

button.

Results are returned from assets that contain the search term in the name of the asset,
even if it is a fragment of the name.

Searching for an exact phrase

How you search for an exact phrase depends on whether you’re entering the search
term in the Asset Name or the Asset Metadata text field.

NOTE: The Asset Name field does not recognize quotation marks.

If you search within the Asset Metadata text field, enter the phrase in quotation
marks.

If you search within the Asset Name text field, enter the exact phrase.

Searching with wildcards

Wildcard searches can be performed in the Asset Metadata field.You can only use an
asterisk at the end of a term, not in the beginning or middle.

If you want to search using a beginning fragment of a term, use the wildcard asterisk
symbol (*) in the Asset Metadata text field.

Using an asterisk after a term returns any asset that contains the term, followed by a
space or by more text, in any of the text fields.

NOTE: To search using a fragment that is found in the middle or the end of a word in the
asset metadata, add a filter under Advanced Settings instead using the Asset Text or Asset
Metadata text field.
