Search Assets in Content Hub search-assets
When you have a large number of assets in your repository, searching for the right asset is time-consuming. The Content Hub search provides you with the capability to look for the approved assets so that you can perform additional actions on them, such as download, share, or create collections. You can utilize various capabilities to narrow down your search results, such as, performing text-based search, using filters, performing tags or smart tags-specific search, searching for a particular file format, and so on.
Prerequisites prerequisites
Content Hub users can perform actions mentioned in this article.
What you can search for what-you-can-search
The Content Hub search provides results based on:
-
Matching text: The Content Hub search allows you to search for an asset using its name or description. You can perform keyword-based search, which compares the keyword to the text available in the properties of an asset.
-
Matching context: Content Hub search results list contains proximate results of assets that you get based on the matching context. For example, if you type
coolin the search bar, the assets related towinter,snow,cold surroundings, display in the search list. -
Asset information (title, tags, or smart tags): Content Hub uses smart search algorithm to rank search results accurately and as relevant as possible. Metadata is the collection of all the data available for an asset, but it may not necessarily be contained in that asset. It helps you further categorize assets and is helpful as the amount of digital information grows.
-
Last modified date: The assets that were modified recently appear on the top of search results list. You can also filter the date range as per your requirement.
-
Usage: The commonly used assets appear on the top of the search list.
-
Search history: Click inside the search box without typing a character to get your search history. You can also remove any particular keyword from history. The search history is saved in the cache memory of a web browser, which means, if you access the Content Hub search in a different browser or clear cache memory of the browser, you cannot view the search history anymore.
-
Search while you type: The Content Hub search enhances your search experience by providing autocomplete suggestions as you start typing.
Basic search basic-search
To perform basic search on the Content Hub, navigate to the search bar and specify the keyword that you need to search. Navigate to filters available in the left pane and apply them to narrow down your search results.
For example, search for all the JPEG images with keyword architect in it, which is modified within the last year. To execute this scenario, execute the following steps:
-
Specify
architectas the search keyword. -
Navigate to filters panel > Format > select JPEG.
-
Navigate to Modified > specify the date range.
Narrow your search results using filters narrow-down-search-results
Use the Filters panel to search for assets based on metadata. You can filter search results based on various search predicates. You can select all the appropriate predicates to minimize or narrow down your search results. When you select multiple options within a filter, Content Hub displays the assets that match any of the options selected within a filter. However, when you select multiple options across filters, Content Hub only displays the assets that match all options selected across filters to narrow down your search results.
The default filters include file format, approved by, date approved, expired and not expired assets, and expiration date. Administrators can also configure the filters that display in the list of filters. For more information, see Configure Content Hub user interface.
Do more with search do-more-with-search
The Content Hub is not limited to search, instead it allows you to perform additional actions, such as download, share, and add assets to collection, right from the search or preview interface. Select the assets on the search results page to view these options.
