Grass Valley GV Browse v.2.0 - Manual (Page 16)

Searching with Boolean operators (AND, OR, AND NOT)
You can search with the following Boolean operators: AND, OR, and AND NOT. If
you enter more than one term without a specific Boolean operator, the OR operator
is implied.
To search with Boolean operators, use the Asset Metadata text field.
NOTE: You cannot search with explicit Boolean operators in the Asset Name text field.
Searching for numbers
You can search for numbers in three ways:
• To find a number in an asset’s name, use the Asset Name text field.
• To find a number in the asset’s text field metadata, such as the description, use the
Asset Metadata text field.
• To find a number only in a specific category, such as a number metadata field or
a specific Creation Date, Modification Date, etc., create a filter and select the
property to search on.
NOTE: You cannot search for single numbers in the Asset Metadata text field. Any single
character, letter or number, is treated like a “noise” word and is ignored. To search for a
single number in the metadata, create a filter.
About noise words: words ignored in a search
Certain “noise” words or characters are automatically ignored in a search in the Asset
Metadata text field.
Examples include:
• Prepositions or articles (such as “after”, “before”, “the”, “an”, etc.)
• single characters or numbers (“a” “z”, “0”, “9”, “$”, “_”, etc.)
• pronouns (“who”, “him”, “mine”, etc.)
• common verbs (such as “will”, “said”, “want”, etc.)
Searching with noise words
To search for noise words, create a filter containing the word or words you want
to search for.
NOTE: If you have administrator privileges, you can modify the SQL file containing the
noise words. Modifying this list might affect expected execution times. For more information,
see the troubleshooting chapter of the Aurora Browse Installation and Configuration manual.
