Instead of searching the current results list, you can also use the text search to look for files on your hard disks or in VST Sound containers.

Procedure
  1. Select the location that you want to use as the starting point for the search.

    The higher up in the hierarchy the location, the longer the search takes.

  2. In the top left corner of the results list, click the Search Subfolders button, and enter the search text in the text field.

    If you are looking for a specific file, enter its name, or part of the name, in the text search field on the toolbar. To perform an exact phrase search, place quotation marks around the search string. You can also add apostrophes to find exact matches for the entered words, and you can use boolean operators.

  3. Optional: On the Filter by Media Type menu, specify which media type you are looking for.
  4. To start the search, press Return, or click Search/Stop Search.

    The files that match the search criteria are listed in the results list.

    Note

    The maximum of files that can be displayed in the list is set with the Maximum MediaBay Results parameter on the Options pop-up menu.
