Overview of Searching for Content

You can search for content by file name, owner, or keyword, in the sales Lightbox content library. The search finds content that you own or that's shared with you by other users. As soon as a file is uploaded and processed, it's available in the search results.

To know how to search Lightbox content, see Search for Content.

When searching, remember:

• Searches aren't case-sensitive. For example, searching for America returns the same results as searching for aMERICA.

• The search returns partial word matches. For example, if you search for mas, the application finds files containing the words Masquerade, Masculine, Mask, and so on.

• You can use the percent sign (%) as a wildcard at the beginning of a string. For example, if you perform a search for %ore, the application returns all content containing core, sore, and so on.

• You can search for file names that contain special and accented characters such as ampersands.

• The order of keywords within the search string is irrelevant. All keywords must match, to match the search string text in file names and content. The Boolean AND operator is implicit. That's you don't enter the Boolean AND operator in your search string. The application automatically inserts it between each keyword (or between keywords and phrases) in the search string.

• From the search results, you can perform the allowed activities with the content. See the topic, Available Lightbox Actions for Different Content Types, for more information about the allowed actions.
