Search Fields
Located within the Search Configuration (grey slider button) to the far right is the Search Fields selection.
Search Fields are intended to help improve search accuracy by narrowing or expanding the search across the 7 searchable fields. This allows you to narrow or expand your search by ensuring that the search criteria you enter is looking in the most helpful fields for what you are looking for.
By default, most searches return the best results with the 5 defaults:
- File Name
- Family Type Name
- Family Category
- Material Class
- Tags
This allows for a broad search based on your criteria. If you need to search for more specific information, such as parameter names or values, you can enable these options as well.
A simple example would be finding a specific type of door with a parameter name that includes “swing,” ensuring the door’s swing is adjustable. Likewise, if you’re getting too many results and only need to search by name, you can limit the search to File Name.
