Search Section
After launching the CaraOne client, you will see the search section feature highlighted at the upper right as shown above. The Search section of CaraOne is designed to provide users with an efficient and intuitive way to find the information they need. While other sections also offer search functionalities, the Search section stands out due to its unique features and user interface.

Key Features
Results Grid:
When users search, the results are displayed in a grid format.
This layout lets users view all the results simultaneously and select the one that best matches their query. The grid can be resized for optimal displaying of information.
Scroll Right -> Right Click and drag
Adjust Thumbnail Height -> Mac, Left-CTRL and scroll, Windows, scroll
Filters:
Media: Select the type of media you are interested in “Video”, "Picture", “Document”, or "Audio".
Evaluation: This filter allows users to set criteria for how the content should be evaluated.
For Video we allow Visual or Sound evaluations
For Documents, we allow Text or Images.
Source: This filter lets users specify which content sources should be considered in the search. We support 3 types:
Media-pool: All indexed paths for your team.
Source-path: Here you can drill down to something more specific like an Avid Bin, a directory, or single or multiple files. A special consideration exists for the selected path or file, which must have been indexed as set on the server settings. Only your teams' workspaces will be displayed.
Project: this option will look for all media assets associated with the currently open project.
Relevance and Scoring:
The order of the search results is significant, as a relevance score sorts the results.
Higher-scoring results appear at the left top, indicating that they are more relevant to the user's search query. Results continue down the first column and jump to the top of the next column and so on. By default, up to 100 results can be displayed.
Operations:
Open Media: Click the thumbnail to preview the in and out points found in the media.
Favorite: By clicking the star icon, the user can save the result to the "Star List Feature", a rough cut editor.
Server performance:
When performing a search, take into consideration the server load. If the server is busy indexing and adding new files, this could result in fewer or no results appearing. Additionally, under heavy load, search results may take longer to be displayed.
