Performing a Text Search
You can perform a text search of the Results list. If you enter text in the text search eld on the
MediaBay toolbar, only media les whose attributes match the entered text are displayed.
● Click the eld and enter the text that you want to nd.
For example, if you are looking for all audio loops relating to drum sounds, enter “drum” in
the search
eld. The search results will contain loops called “Drums 01”, “Drumloop”,
“Snare Drum”, etc. In addition, all media les with the Drum&Percussion category
attribute or any other attribute that contains “drum” are found. You can also add
apostrophes to
nd exact matches for the entered words and use boolean operators.
●
To reset the text search, delete the text, or click Reset Filters.
Boolean Text Search
You can perform advanced searches, using boolean operators or wildcards.
You can use the following elements:
And [+]
[a and b]
When entering strings separated by “and” (or a plus sign), all les are found that
contain both a and b.
[And] is the default setting when no boolean operator is used, for example, you can
also enter [a b].
Or [,]
[a or b]
When entering strings separated by “or” (or a comma), les are found that contain
either a or b, or both.
Not [-]
[not b]
When entering text preceded by “not” (or a minus sign), all les not containing b are
found.
Parentheses [()]
[(a or b) + c]
Using parentheses, you can group text strings. In this example, les are found that
contain c and either a or b.
Quotation marks [“”]
[“example text”]
With quotation marks, you can dene sequences of several words. Files are found if
they contain this sequence of words.
IMPORTANT
When you are searching for les whose names contain a hyphen, put the search text in quotation
marks. Otherwise the program treats the hyphen as the boolean operator “not”.
