Configure the full text search

The full text search field in Dashboard, Explore View, and Advanced Search can be restricted to only search in certain metadata types and exclude others.

1. Click the search options icon in the full text field.

2. The search options open underneath the field, showing the various metadata types:
   

   The search options are separated into five categories: Title: This section determines which name properties are searched. If all fields are selected, the full text search looks for the search term(s) in the asset name, original asset name and the ID of an asset. In the Advanced Search, the collection name is also available as an option. File Content: This section determines in which types of asset content the search looks for the search term. You can find a list of searchable document types below. Metadata Information: This section determines which types of metadata are searched. If all types are selected, the full text search looks for the search term(s) in all listed metadata types. The option "Information fields" includes all non-localized information fields configured for your specific CELUM Content server as well as certain asset properties like creator user, modifier user and asset type. Localized text fields: This section determines in which languages values of multi-language fields are searched. If multiple languages are selected, the full text search looks for the search term(s) in all configured localized information fields in the selected language(s) as well as all non-localized metadata (i.e. the metadata selected in the other option categories). By default, the configured application languages are pre-selected. All languages configured in your system as either application languages, collection languages or information field languages are listed. You can select all available languages via a checkbox next to the category header: Collection Tree: This section determines if the parent collection structure is also searched. If the "Asset path" field is selected, the full text search looks for the search term(s) in the names of collections in the current collection hierarchy.

   
   

3. Select metadata and languages in which the search term(s) should be looked for. If you deselect a metadata type, the search will NOT look through fields of that type.

   On dialog-level (across all sections), you need to select at least 1 search option. Therefore, if you deselect every option, the last remaining one will be grayed out and non-editable.

4. Click the "APPLY" button to save your changes and trigger the search.

5. The search options icon now shows a blue dot to indicate that the default options have been changed: .

   If you only change the languages in the "Localized text fields" section, the icon won't change, because adding or removing a language doesn't influence which types of metadata are searched through.
