The search criteria zone with buttons and search controls appears on top of the navigator pane. You can expand it or collapse it independently of other navigator parts. By default, it is expanded. Click the collapse button to collapse it. It collapses upwards and it yields the space to the results zone, displaying more results.

The upper part of the search criteria zone contains:

1   2              3                      4     5

1.The collapse button or the expander button.

2.The refresh button (to update the results zone after changing the search criteria if the auto apply is not turned on).

3.The Saved search command bar. Note that also when the search criteria zone is collapsed, you can still select and apply saved searches.

4.The "search pane selector" drop-down button, to select and display the alternative search pane.

5.The draft view expander button <.

The lower part of the search criteria zone - if expanded - contains the search controls. The search controls are by default empty, unless you loaded a workspace saved with Include Searches, or unless there are scripted automated actions active related to search controls.

In the current default configuration, you can locate editorial content and wires by name, folder, type, any word in text, source, and modification date. Your customized configuration may be different than the standard configuration, so you might have available more or less or different options. You can combine more search options at once.

By default, the search fields are empty

Basic and Options pane

The only difference between Basic and Advanced search pane is that Advanced pane contains also the options buttons, to tune the search. On the Basic pane, the options are predefined, except for full text and date, and you cannot change them.

Search options are explained in Options for string searches. Options for folder searching are explained in Options for folder searches. Options for date searching are explained in Options for date searches.

Note

Search fields are defined under WirePages base query in Shell4_Config.xml.
