Searching Using The Library

The Library provides a powerful tool for searching for content on your Myriad system.

The Basic search allows you to find content based on a simple text criteria.

If you want to combine search criteria or want to search by content type or specific event dates (ie all content added in the past 14 days), you can use the Advanced Search options.

Basic Search

The Basic Search option allows you to search Media Items for a specific word or phrase.

Select the Library tab.
On the Home tab, click type in the Search Criteria.
Click on the Search button or press <Enter>.
The results will be displayed in the main window.
You can also add additional criteria for duration and year if release.

Advanced Search

If you want to search by more than one criteria, you can use the Advanced Search options to combine multiple search terms. You can search by virtually all Media Item fields using the Advanced Search options.

Select the Library tab.
Click on the Advanced Search button.
The Advanced Search option allows you to select one or more Media Item fields and enter the criteria you want to search by.

You can search by virtually every field within Media Items as well as by content, duration or key dates (such as added / modified etc).
Switch tabs to explore more Advanced Search criteria options.
When you are happy with your search criteria, click on the Search button or press <ENTER>.
Any Media Items that meet your combined criteria will be displayed in the main section.
You can drag Media Items from the search results into the Log, Media Players, Favourites or anywhere else you can use Media Items.

Double clicking will open the Edit Window for the item but will not take you to the item in the Media Wall.

You can also right click on a Media Item in the search results to access more options.
