Advanced Search¶

Observer gives you two tools for narrowing the results of your search: the Time range field and the Advanced Search option.

The Time Range Field¶

Use the Time range to narrow your search by date and time. The drop-down menu provides you with four options:

  • None (the default)

  • Created: search by time range of when the clip was created

  • Modified: search by time range of when the clip was modified

  • Video: search by time range of whether the clip contains video

Choosing any option other than “None” opens up the Search Calendar.

Set the start point and end point of the period you wish to search, and click Search.

The Advanced Search Field¶

You can further refine your search by clicking the Advanced Search button to open the Advanced Search window.

The Advanced Search window gives you three drop-down menus you can use to quickly narrow in on the results you want.

Those fields are the:

  • Boolean Operator Field. This field allows you to use multiple search terms using Boolean logic. If you combine two search terms with a Boolean AND (for example, if you search for Coke AND Pepsi), Observer will return a clip only if it contains both terms. A Boolean OR search, on the other hand, will pull up every clip in which either term is mentioned.

  • Column Definition Field. This field allows you to search for terms in a specific column.

  • Variable Field. This field allows you to search for clips that bear a specific relationship to the search term.
