Search is one of the most important parts of Collage. Click the search bar to look up content by name — search matches the names of your assets, Collages, and folders. Use filters to narrow by tags, file type, dates, and more.
Search by keyword
As you type, Collage shows matching assets, Collages, and folders. Once you start typing, Recommended Tags appear — click one to see every asset with that tag. When you open search with an empty box, your recent searches appear; click one to run it again.
Results are grouped into tabs — All, Assets, Collages, and Folders — each showing up to five matches, with a View all assets (n) (or collages / folders) link to see everything in that group.
Note: Click the search bar — available on nearly every page — or press Command + F (Mac) or Control + F (Windows) to open the search overlay. From the overlay you can search keywords and apply filters without leaving your current page, then click a result to open it. Press Esc to close search. Press Enter or click View All to open a full search results page for refining your query.
Narrow results with filters
Click Filter to refine your search. Filters can be combined — an asset must satisfy every active filter to appear.
- Date Added — choose a preset (30 minutes, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, or 1 month ago) or Custom, plus a condition of Before, After, or Between. Presets default to After; a custom range uses Between.
- Last Modified Date — the same options, applied to when an asset was last changed.
- Tags — pick one or more tags with a condition: Include all of, Include any of, Exclude all of, Exclude any of, or Contains.
- File Type — match Is or Is not a type such as PNG, PDF, JPG, or SVG.
- Uploaded By — match Is or Is Not one or more people.
- Collage — Include all of, Include any of, Exclude all of, or Exclude any of one or more Collages.
- Visibility — match Is or Is not Available or Restricted.
- Orientation — for images only, match Is or Is not Horizontal, Vertical, or Square (non-image files are left out while this filter is on).
- Custom fields — filter by any custom fields defined for your workspace, listed at the bottom of the Filter menu.
Each filter type can be used once. Filters on tags, file type, uploader, Collage, orientation, and custom fields apply only to assets, so they hide Collage and folder results. You can also search with filters alone, without a keyword.
Note: Combine filters to zero in fast — for example, the
product-photographytag +JPGadded in the last 7 days.
Once your library is well tagged, search becomes more powerful.
View and organize the full search results page
Once you open the full results page — via View All or pressing Enter — click Display (the gear icon) to set View (Grid or List; Mosaic isn't offered here), Sort by, and, on the Assets tab in Grid view, Thumbnail size. Results are ranked by relevance first; Sort by orders results that match equally well. In List view, each result shows its folder path — click it to jump to that folder.
On the Assets tab, select results and use the bulk action bar that appears the same way you would anywhere else in Collage. See Acting on many assets at once with bulk actions for how selection and the bulk action bar work.
Share a search
The full results page keeps your keyword, tab, and filters in the page address. Copy the URL from your browser to share the exact search with a teammate, or bookmark it to run again later.
