Keyword searches are the simplest method for searching in the LUNA Library but you can also perform an advanced search. If you've created a complex advanced search query you might want to save that search so you can easily execute it again and again without having to recreate it. Searches are based on the cataloged data in records, file names, embedded metadata (IPTC, EXIF, XMP) and custom catalog data.

You can search one collection at a time, the Independent Media Items Container or the entire LUNA Library.

Since records, custom data fields, and embedded metadata are all indexed you can search the system by specific data:

- all these words: searches for all of the words in any order. Using Boolean logic, this search is similar to using "AND". If you entered "World Heritage Sites" in this search box, the search results would contain only those items containing containing all three terms. The Boolean operator "AND" is used automatically with this option, so you don't need to enter it.

- any  any of these words: searches for any of the words entered in the search box. Using Boolean logic, this search is similar to using "OR". If you entered "World Heritage Sites" in this search box, the search results would contain all items containing any of the three terms, including results with only "World", only "Heritage", and only "Site". The Boolean operator "OR" is used automatically with this option, so you don't need to enter it.

- this  this exact wording: searches for all of the words in the exact order. This is similar to using quotation marks in other search engines. For instance, if you were searching for "World Heritage Sites", search results would contain only those items that contain the exact phrase "World Heritage Sites".

...

After executing a search, click on "Save Search" to save that query. This is helpful so that you don't have to build the same search query over and over. When you select "Save Search" you'll be saving this as a search filter and can choose whether or not to have this search filter display in your quicklist, and whether it should be publicly viewable.

You'll find that your saved search query queries using the "Load Search" pull down menu in the advanced search or in your quicklist to the left of the Library thumbnails where the other filters are (All, Drafts, Starred, Batches, Labels).

To manage these saved searches click on "Manage Saved Searches".
