Search

This view shows the results of a search, and allows you to initiate a new search by clicking the node.

Basic Search

Enter your search criteria in the Search toolbar and MediaMonkey will return search results based on the most commonly used text fields. If you wish to initiate a slightly more fine-grained search, clear the search bar and:

1. Click the Search button or node to bring up a basic search dialog that will let you find Tracks based on a few criteria.
2. Enter the word or phrase you'd like to find and press 'Ok' to see the search results.

Advanced Search

Advanced search allows you to search the entire library by any set of criteria. To do this:

1. Press the Search button (when no text appears in the search bar) or node, and select the Advanced tab.
2. Click the 'New Criteria' icon, and select the criteria you would like to search for. You can do this for as many criteria as you like. Keep in mind that:
   • For any individual criterion, if you select multiple attributes (e.g. Tempo is Fast, Very Fast), the search will find any Track where Tempo is Fast or Very Fast.
   • If you select multiple criteria (e.g. one criteria is Artist=Police and another Genre=Rock), then the criteria are additive, and search will only find Tracks that match all of the criteria.
3. Click the 'Add New Sort Order' icon, to sort the search results by any field. Sort by 'Random' if you want Tracks to be sorted in a random order (note: if you limit the number of search results, then sorting by 'Random' will return a different set of Tracks each time).
4. Limit the search results, by time, size, or number of Tracks if you wish.
5. Press 'Ok' to see the search results.
