With our visual search and dynamic file filters, you can find what you need when you need it based on custom file names, descriptions, and/or tags added to your files. You can even pin your favorite searches to access your files even quicker.

Image content
The dropdown menu in your search bar offers four options to start your search or narrow your results later.
Any of these terms: This is the broadest search you can run and will return results containing any terms you type into the search bar.
For example, if you search for "big dog," the search results will show any files with "big" or "dog" in any searchable field.
All of these terms: This will narrow your search by turning OR to AND.
For example, if you search for "big dog," the search results will show any files with "big" AND "dog" in any searchable field.
Containing these terms: This option will return even more pinpointed results because it will return results that contain the two terms together as a phrase.
For example, if you search for "big dog," the search results will show any files with the phrase "big dog" together in any of the searchable fields. It will, however, NOT show results where big is in the file name and dog is in a Tag Category.
Exact phrase: This is the most pinpointed search and will only return files that have exactly the phrase, and only that phrase, in a searchable field.
For example, if you search for "big dog," the search results will show only files with "big dog" as the only text in the field. A file named "big dog bed" will NOT appear in the results.
Starting your search
Start by typing a word or phrase in the search box at the top of your workspace.
The visual dropdown allows you to quickly view a snapshot of your results. If you see what you're looking for, you can click directly on the file or Collection you want to view.
Alternatively, you can click enter after typing your search term or phrase to display all files and Collections that match.
After running any search, our dynamic filters will automatically appear in the left sidebar. Start by selecting where your terms have been searched. By default, we search all fields, but you can use the checkboxes to search in Collection names only, file names only, file descriptions only, tags only, or any combination.
You can open and close your filters here.
You can filter your search results further by file status, type, extension, orientation, upload date, additional tag categories, and more. Expand and collapse the filters by clicking the filter name. Search results are dynamic, and you will only see filter options that will show file results.
Tip: You don't have to run a search to access the filters. You can filter files anytime from the All Files area, All Collections area, or within any Collection.
Searching in a Collection with sub-Collections
You can also search and filter from within a Collection or a Collection with Sub-Collections from your filters sidebar.
From within a Collection, open the filters to the left of the Collection name. You will see a second search bar above the filters. This search bar will search ONLY within the Collection and Sub-Collection you are in. The main search at the top of your workspace will search your entire workspace.
You'll know you are searching within a Collection and its sub-Collections because the name of the Collection will be listed above the search bar. All filters will also only filter files that live within that Collection or its sub-Collections.
Pinned searches
If you're repeatedly running the same searches and filters, you can pin a search to your filters sidebar for easy access. Pinned searches are private and visible only to you.
To pin a search, click the Pin search icon next to your search and filter tags at the top of your file results.
Give your pinned search a custom name, or use the default text and click save.
Your pinned searches will appear in your sidebar under the Pinned searches toggle.
You can edit a pinned search by clicking the Edit icon at the top of your file results when in a pinned search.
Your pinned searches will also appear in the visual search dropdown, along with your latest searches.
