OR Searches
The Plus (+) and Minus (–) buttons add and de-
lete OR rows to find results that match the crite-
ria either in the top row or the additional rows.
To add and use OR rows in a search:
1
Click the Plus (+) button to add an OR row
identical to the upper row, but with no entries
in the search fields.
2
To add an additional OR row, click the Plus (+)
button again. (An empty OR row has no effect
on the search.)
3
Enter search criteria.
For example, to find all files named either Dog
or Bark:
• Type Dog in the first File Name field.
• Add an OR row.
• Type Bark in the second File Name field.
4
Click Search.
To remove OR rows:
■
Click the Minus (–) button to delete the bot-
tom OR row.
AND Searches
If you enter two or more words in a text field,
Pro Tools finds files that contain all of those
words. For example, if you type
Dog Bark , only
files that contain both the words Dog and Bark
are found.
Quotations Marks for Text Strings
Text enclosed in quotation marks is searched as
one text string. For example, if you type
“Dog
Bark” (with quotes), only items with Dog Bark
anywhere in the File Name are considered a
match.
Search Modes
DigiBase provides two different text searching
environments:
Quick Search Mode
Applies wildcards before
and after each text string. For example, a Quick
search for
Dog finds Dogs , dog_bark , and
howling_dogs .
Advanced Search Mode
Does not automatically
apply any wildcards. Therefore, an Advanced
search on
Dog finds Big Dog , but not Dogs (unless
you manually add a wildcard, as described in
“Wildcard Characters (* and ?)” on page 185).
In addition, Advanced Search recognizes word
breaks such as underscores and capitalization.
For example, an Advanced search on Dog also
finds Big_Dog (Big-underscore-Dog) and BigDog ,
though it would not find BigDogs .
