Administer global search settings

In the "Search" tab of the Content administration, you can set in which languages the full text search should look for a search term. The full text search will return results if any of their properties match the search terms in the selected language(s). By default, only the current application language is selected.

This setting governs the following localized collection or asset properties:

• Collection type

• Collection name

• Asset type

• Asset path

• Collection- or tag-references on assets

Thus, if any of the above properties contain the search term in one of the chosen languages, the collection or asset will be returned.

In the "Search" tab of the Content administration, you can set the default language in which filter widgets for fields with multiple languages should search:

These settings affect widgets based on the following fields:

• Localized text fields (single- and multi-line)

• Referencing drop-down fields

• Collection name (in Advanced Search)

For both fields, you can select between the current application language of each individual user and a fixed language. If the chosen language is available for a given information field, then the chosen language is automatically selected in the language chooser for the respective filter widget.

In the "Search" tab of the Content administration, you can decide how the search terms entered into the full text search should be combined to produce results:

If you set the drop-down to "And", then only assets which contain all the entered search terms in their metadata will be returned by the search.

If you set the drop-down to "Or", then assets which contain at least one of the entered search terms in their metadata will be returned by the search.
