Using Search and the Search App

Whenever you initiate a search using the banner at the top of the Avid Content Core user interface, the system opens the Search app — where the results of your search are displayed. Alternatively, you can select the Search app in the Fast Bar to directly interact with this app.

The Avid Content Core search produces results based on a deep index of asset metadata. ACC constantly syncs with the source on-prem and cloud-native systems to ensure that this index is up to date. If this metadata is altered — for example an asset is renamed — the updates to that asset are reflected across all areas of Avid Content Core after a very short period of time.

Search App Overview

The Search app enables you to quickly and easily locate assets across your entire Avid Content Core system using either a simple, but powerful semantic search, or a more granular advanced search that allows you to narrow your results through one or more filters.

The following illustration and table provide an overview of the app.
