Searching for Files in Column View

In Column view, the upper area of the Media and Effects Manager displays two

columns: Keywords shows the categories of files that meet the search criteria, and

Matches shows the total number of matching files and any subcategories containing

matching files, with the number of matching files in each.

Clicking a keyword displays the files matching that keyword in the Search Results area.

You can refine your search results by narrowing the criteria using the subcategories in

the Matches column.

To search for files in Column view:

1 Choose the type of keywords to display in the Keywords list from the Keywords

pop-up menu.

You can use the Time Signature and Scale Type pop-up menus to restrict matches by

those categories.

2 Select a keyword in the Keywords list to display matching files in the Search Results area.

The hints, tempo, key, and number of beats for each matching file are also displayed.

You can also perform text searches, which can be especially helpful for non-tagged

files. When you type text in the Search Text field, any files with the text in their file path

or filename appear in the Search Results list. The number of files appears in the

Matches column under “No Category.”

To search using the Search Text field:

m Enter text in the Search Text field.

As you type, files matching the characters you type appear in the Search Results field.
