Acquia DAM (Widen)
What is the redesigned asset search experience?
Filter by color - Automated color detection runs on images during upload. A filter allows users to refine search by color swatches or hex codes.
AI tags - Automated basic keyword tagging runs upon upload for image assets. Users can leverage additional search filtering by AI tags.
AI video transcripts - Automated, searchable transcripts are created for videos upon upload.
Facial recognition - The system automatically detects and groups faces in images, which are then searchable and filterable in redesigned search.
AI document summaries - AI-powered document summarization on Asset Digest generates a concise English-language summary of a document. This helps you understand content without reading the full file.
Beyond the same search functionality that you rely on, redesigned search has new core features. The following highlights give it distinct usability advantages over classic search.
You can now copy and paste a link to your search results. The URL will include the search terms, sort, pagination, and filters applied. Copy the link from the browser and then easily send it to other DAM users, or incorporate it into any place you might add the links, like dashboard messages. All logged-in users will be able to click and view these links, even if they do not have redesigned search enabled.
The new default sort for search results is called Relevance. A scoring algorithm determines relevance by comparing search terms to all searchable information for each asset. The algorithm also considers both frequency and uniqueness when matching terms. Users can choose other sort options.
Sidebar filters are collapsed by default. Expand them to select filter values and scroll the sidebar independently of results. New filter options include uploader name, asset groups, and tags. You can find and enable these in the Admin app under Search Settings > Refine search.
Advanced search is now placed directly within the search results page. You can perform the same deep filtering options as in classic search in the context of a search results page.
Individual asset download includes the original and preconfigured downloads you had before, along with web-friendly formats, all in an updated modal.
Individual asset share now has a new dedicated share URL option with a new viewer, as well as your existing embed and share URLs and links.
Users can select assets in bulk and perform bulk actions on those assets. We have redesigned all bulk actions while maintaining the same capabilities as classic search, with added UI improvements. Users can perform the following actions:
Redesigned search is an opt-in feature. Each DAM user can enable the redesigned search experience for their own DAM account.
Users with administrator-level permissions can switch all users to the new redesigned search experience and Asset Digest experience.
We are finishing development of functionality for redesigned search, including:
To stay in the loop with that development, we recommend visiting the Acquia DAM Roadmap.
