Filtering a Search

AMS is fully indexed, making it easy to find the exact asset you need. Each asset’s name, description, metadata, and many other details are instantly full-text searchable. Search is case insensitive (except for OR and AND search operators), meaning LOGO and logo will return the same results. 

Note: When using Search operators, we recommend using the “any of these terms” search filter option.

Here’s an exhaustive list of details you can use to scope your search:

• Name (This is the resource identifier string.)
• custom_fields.Title (This is the Title field for an archived item.)
• custom_fields.Creator (This is the creator field for an archived item.)
• custom_fields.Description (This is the description field for an archived item.)
• custom_fields.Year Start (This is the year start date for an archived item.)
• custom_fields.Year End (This is the year end date for an archived item.)
• custom_fields.Provenance (This is the provenance information for an archived item.)
• custom_fields.Location (This is the location where an archived item is stored by History Factory.)
• filenames
