Media Manager Exact Searching

Kit wrote on 9/18/2010, 3:07 AM

Is there any way to do an exact search? For example, finding files with the word "bell" in the path but not "bells". When I type bell into the search bar I'm getting bells included in the results.

Thanks,

Kit

No, I don't believe so. It always does a sub-term search.

You could use term: bell -bells and it will remove "bells" from the search criteria (which would be "bell and not bells")

Thanks, I tried that but it didn't work - does it work for you?

Yes, absolutely. Placing a minus sign in front of any word negates the word in the search. Don't add any quotes (which is why I placed that in bold) because quotes have meaning. They hold multiple words together. Just type: bell a space a minus sign and bells (no space between the minus sign and bells)

cut and paste this into your search:

bell -bells
