Search Assets

Search in Assets allows you to quickly locate assets. Whether you need a single file or a group of related assets, you can use Basic Search for quick lookups or Advanced Search for precise, multi-condition queries.

Basic Search scans across various fields to help you find assets with minimal effort.

1. Navigate to Assets through “App Switcher”.
2. Locate the search bar at the top of the asset listing page.
3. Use the dropdown to choose your search scope:
   • All: Searches across all available fields of all assets.
   • Title: Limits search to asset titles only.
   • URL: Limits search to the URL field of assets.

Example: To find a PDF asset titled “Product Catalog 2025”, select Title, type “Product Catalog 2025”, and the results display the matching assets.

Advanced Search gives you fine-grained control by allowing you to build queries with multiple conditions.

1. On the asset listing page, click Advanced Search next to the search bar.
2. Choose whether to Match All Conditions (AND logic) or Match Any Condition (OR logic).
3. Define your search conditions by selecting:
   • Field: Options include asset type, published environment, published by, created at, modified by, tags, UID, and more.
   • Operator: Depends on the data type (equals, contains, empty, and more).
   • Value: The specific input to match.
4. Add more conditions with + New Condition, or group logic with + New Sub-condition.
5. Click Search to run the query.

Example: Build a query to find:

• All JPEG images (Asset Type = JPEG)
• Uploaded by John Doe (Created By = John Doe)
• Between January 1–March 31, 2025 (Created At between dates)
