Search Syntax Rules

• A plus (+) sign before any expression makes that expression required.
• A minus (–) sign before any expression excludes that expression.
• Quotes (“ ”) can be used to combine multiple words into one expression.
Search Fields
Field Description
Number These two fields set the range of clip file numbers to display. The left
field contains the lowest clip file number; the right field contains the
highest.
Date These two fields set the range of creation dates.
Title
/Category/User/Memo Each of these fields are used to specify the text which must be included
within that field in order for that clip to be shown. For example, if the
word “football” is placed in the title field, only those clips with the word
football somewhere in the title will be shown. If data is entered in
multiple fields, then all fields must match in order for the clip to display.
More complex searches can be performed using search syntax.
MultiMatch Allows you to find clips that contain a given piece of text when you don’t
know which field it is in. When checked, the Title field is relabeled
MultiMatch, and the other text fields are disabled. The search engine will
check whether any of the four text fields have matching data.
Ignore Case This check box causes all searches to ignore the differences between
upper and lower case letters.
Clear This button clears the search fields and restores the default values.
