Metadata conditions generator is a widget that allows users to specify multiple metadata-related search conditions. The first dropdown displays the list of all accessible metadata set definitions, the second shows the list of all available attributes for the selected set. When attribute is selected an appropriate editor will be shown where users can provide a required value for the attribute.

Info
titleMetadata Search limitations

In FileCloud the metadata search is a subject to following limitations:

  • Search is performed as the exact match - i.e. when looking for a text values the whole value has to be specified. Partial matches aren't supported
  • Every metadata search condition narrows the search - the result has to match all conditions at the same time (AND logical operation is performed)

Use Cache Results

To increase search speed when users rerun a previous search, FileCloud caches search results by default. However, if files or folders are modified or moved, search results are not up to date. You can override caching of results in the Advanced Search dialog box.

...

  1. In the Search bar, click the down arrow.
    The Advanced Search dialog box opens.
  2. Uncheck the Use Cache Results checkbox.
    In future searches, Use Cache Results keeps the setting you entered unless you change it.
