About Saved Searches

Saved Searches are albums that collect media matching specified criteria. After you create a Saved Search, any media that matches the criteria of that Saved Search appears automatically in the Saved Search results. As you add new media to the catalog, the media items matching the Saved Search criteria also appear automatically in the Saved Search results. Saved Searches keep themselves up-to-date.

Create a Saved Search

  1. Select Find > By Saved Searches.

  2. In the Saved Searches dialog box, click New Search Query.

  3. Enter the search criteria in the New Search Query dialog box and click OK.

    Specify the following details in the New Search Query dialog box.

    • Name: Enter the name of the Saved Search.
    • Search Criteria: Select the search criteria from the drop-down lists. Enter the value (if required) in the text box.
    • Click + to add another search query.
    • Click OK.

    For example, you can search for all the files with filenames starting with Dsc.

    Note:

    You can apply more than one criterion to your selection.

  4. Click Options in the upper-right pane to view the Saved Search options.

    Note:

    Click Clear to clear the search results and return to the Media view.

    You can save the current search results as a new Saved Search. Click Save Search Criteria as Saved Search.

    Modify Search Criteria to modify the search criteria in order to achieve the intended search results.

    Show results that do not match to view the other search results.

Edit a Saved Search and create a similar Saved Search

You can edit the search criteria of a Saved Search.

    The Saved Search is executed, and the results are displayed in the Media view.

  3. Select Options from the upper-right bar. Click Search Modify Criteria.

  4. Edit the search criteria or add more search criteria.
