The Quicksearch menu
Besides a section displaying previously used search terms, and a section displaying saved search queries (see “Saving and Loading Search Queries,” p. 40), the
Quicksearch menu provides the following entries:
• Find – Searches in all catalogs open int the current collection; replaces the
current collection with the search result. (Equivalent to the magnifying glass
icon.)
• Find in Collection – Searches in the currently displayed collection only, e.g.
in the result of a previous search. Handy for narrowing down search results.
• Find and Add to Collection – Searches in all open catalogs; adds the search
result to the currently displayed collection. Handy for broadening a search
result.
• Find All Records – All records of all open catalogs are displayed. (Equivalent
to clicking the
icon or pressing Enter on an empty search field).
• Clear Quicksearch List – Deletes the previously used search terms.
• Find Window – Opens the Find window (See “Searching with the Find Window,” below, for details.)
Searching with the Find Window
The Find Window reveals the true search power of Cumulus. Complex search setups (queries) can be constructed to find virtually any type of data stored for an
asset. Boolean operators (and, or) increase the query possibilities even further.
Different search methods let you define the search area (either all records of all
catalogs opened in the current collection or only the records contained in the
current collection.) The matches can either be added to the current collection,
replace the records in the current collection or comprise a new collection of their
own.
A description of the Find window and a comprehensive listing of searchable
fields are listed in the overviews “Overview: The Find Window,” p. 34 and “Overview: Sample Search Options,” p. 35.
