Searching is fairly straightforward. By default searching will look through titles, creators (authors, directors, actors and band/artists), description, tags, notes and groups.
When clicking on the search input, advanced options appear. These options will let you create advanced searches to delve deeper into your data. Using the advanced search will auto-create search operators and place them into the search box. These operators are described in detail below.

Search Example
Pro users can search all collections at the same time by clicking on search. A drop down menu will appear and to the right there is an option to toggle “Search all collections”. When this toggle is on, the tags list will automatically display all tags across all collections as well (managers will see all tags for all collections that they have access to).
When search all is enabled, the magnifying class turns blue as well.
The search will then search across all the collections that the manager has access to within the account.
