I'm seeing unexpected content in my search results

๐Ÿ‘€ Check what search is finding

  • Search looks in file names, captions, text-based metadata, comments, annotations, and custom fields

  • Click the โ„น๏ธ tab on any asset to view all its metadata including tags, keywords, descriptions, and custom fields


๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ Test search and filters separately

  1. Search without any filters first

  2. Try filtering without search terms

  3. Combine both once you confirm what works individually


๐Ÿ“š Check version stacks

If any version in a stack matches your search, the entire stack appears in results


๐Ÿง Review custom fields

Unexpected results often come from custom fields containing your search term


๐Ÿงฎ Use advanced search operators

  • Use AND, OR, and NOT to refine searches

  • Example: "train AND people" finds assets with trains as well as people
