BOX search
The BOX search feature uses a tag metadata. You can define a string as the keyword of a BOX, and a BOX with the same tag can be searched.
A default metadata tag is on the New BOX Property dialog box and New BOX Basic Information dialog box.
The BOX toolbar has a Search function where the menu lists the supported search types of name, metadata, and resource.
You select a type and specify the search content. The search scope is the current view folder and its sub-folders.
Search types include:
- Name search: BOX shows the search result in left panel.
- Metadata search: Use any metadata property value from the menu list. The search result list has two columns, Location and Metadata. The Metadata column shows the metadata fields and values of a BOX that match the search content.
- Resource search: Select from
the menu list of types.
By default, you can perform a fuzzy query for all types of resources. For example, the menu list is left empty and abc is specified as the search content. Then threads, processes, and xlate files with "abc" inside their name are returned. Search results are shown in the Location and Resource columns.
If you specify abc.hrl as the search content, then BOXes that contain the file The Resource column lists all resources that match the search criteria. abc.hrl are returned. This function applies also to other types of resources whose file name has that file extension.
The same result is returned if you selects HRL configurations as the resource type and only specify abc as the search content.
For HMD formats, in addition to searching by resource name, you can also specify the version as search content. The BOXes that have that version HMD format are returned.
