Keyword Search

Perform a quick keyword search using the search bar at the top of the NetX application. Keyword searches perform a case-insensitive match across the following attributes:

  • File: The full name (including extension) of the physical file stored in NetX, and is generated when uploading an asset.

  • Name: The internal label NetX uses for the asset. By default, this is the name of the physical file without the extension.

  • Extension : The file extension, indicating the file format e.g. jpgmp4pdf, etc.

  • Format family : A general format type without a specific extension, e.g. imagevideodocument, etc.

  • Folder name : The name of the folder the asset resides in.

  • Folder path : The full folder path that assets reside in.

  • Any custom attributes created by an administrator.

Two additional search types may be supported, if your site's administrator has enabled them:

  • Asset ID: Search for an asset by its unique asset identification number, generated when an asset is first uploaded in NetX. This feature must be enabled by your system administrator and is disabled by default.

  • Content: Search for text content in document files, e.g. pdfdoctxt files. Quotation marks should not be used to return results, even in the case of a quoted text such as a dialogue segment. This feature must be enabled by your system administrator and is disabled by default.

Performing a keyword search

  1. Type your search terms into the search bar.

  2. Press Enter to search your keyword, or choose a suggestion from the dropdown. Selecting a suggestion will automatically perform an exact search for that term.

Searching within a folder, collection, or saved search

  1. Open a folder, collection, or saved search to display its contents in the gallery.
  2. In the search field, under Find in, click the name of what you opened.
  3. A chip will appear in the search bar, indicating that keyword searches are limited to your selection.

Other search types

From within the search menu, you can also perform Video Clip, Color, Attribute History, or Advanced searches. Currently, those search types cannot be combined with keyword searches.
