Searching 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.

Refining 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: clip: Video clips event: CMS assets generated from a live event file: CMS assets generated by a Slicer or a Cloud Slicer. live: CMS assets generated by a Live Slicer rts: CMS assets generated from real-time events 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:Value Syntax (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:image Search 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
