|
Now that our files have tags assigned we can use those tags for searching.
|
|
Searching is only possible in the *Files* tab so if you haven't already you
|
|
need to open one now.
|
|
We need to switch our side menu to *Search* mode (1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you can enter filter expressions in the corresponding input field (2).
|
|
You can enter any of the tags you've previously assigned. If it exists
|
|
you should see it in the suggestions.
|
|
After entering a tag it will appear in the line above (3) and start
|
|
searching. You can prefix your query with a minus `-` to negate it.
|
|
|
|
## Wildcards
|
|
|
|
Searching with wildcards *\** is also possible. A wildcard must be positioned
|
|
at the end of a query entry to be interpreted as one. Valid entries would be:
|
|
|
|
- `sno*` - searching by all tags beginning with *sno*
|
|
- `season:*` - searching by all tags within the *season* namespace
|
|
|
|
## OR Expressions
|
|
|
|
The more tags you enter the more restricted the search result becomes.
|
|
But in some cases you might want to filter by either of some tags.
|
|
This is possible by separating two entries with the keyword *OR*.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
- `season:winter OR river`
|
|
- `snow OR rabbit OR forest`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Search dialog
|
|
|
|
You can get a better overview of your current search query by pressing the
|
|
funnel icon in the search input element.
|
|
This will open a search dialog displaying the current search expression as
|
|
a list rather than in one line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Expressions with an OR combinator are displayed in dark boxes (1).
|
|
Stand-alone expressinos are displayed outside these boxes (2).
|
|
You an enter additional queries in the bottom input field (3) and filter
|
|
by those once you're ready (4).
|
|
|
|
You're also able to select the single entries and by right clicking one
|
|
open a menu with additional options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All entries can be removed (1). You can convert the selected entries to other
|
|
expression types removing them from their original expression (2 and 3) or
|
|
copy them to a new expression without removing them (4 and 5).
|
|
|
|
## Searching by properties
|
|
|
|
Files are stored with several properties which can be used in searches too.
|
|
To search by file properties you have to prefix your query with a dot `.` .
|
|
Properties that can be used in searches are:
|
|
|
|
- status
|
|
- file size
|
|
- imported time
|
|
- changed time
|
|
- created time
|
|
- tag count
|
|
- content descriptor (CD)
|
|
|
|
Depending on the property different types of comparators are valid.
|
|
Status and content descriptor can only be searched by an equal `=` comparator
|
|
while the remaining entries can also additionally
|
|
be searched with the less `<` and greater `>` comparator e.g.
|
|
|
|
- `.Status = Imported`
|
|
- `.FileSize > 10MB`
|
|
- `.FileImportedTime < 2022-01-12T00:00:00`
|
|
- `.TagCount > 15`
|
|
- `.ContentDescriptor = 28g5gfpdvcvlua15gq6etq8e65tol4113e0kudcjjajkgmsj9aefimg`
