What will I see in search results?
This article explains the classic search results experience. Learn more about Acquia DAM's redesigned search experience.
In the redesigned search experience, users can now switch between card and list views with the toggle on the right side of the screen. This feature provides more flexibility in how you view and interact with search results, catering to individual preferences.
Search results display on the Search Results page. You can access the Search Results page by entering a search term in the quick search or from the Activity menu on the dashboard.
Only assets you have permission to view will be returned in the search results. Assets with filenames that include foreign language characters (diacritics) will display in search results along with those without special characters. From search results, click an asset's filename to see details about the asset, refine search results, and add assets to the Selection panel to download or share. More search options, including searching categories and collections, are available above search results.
Up to 10,000 assets will display in search results. If there are more than 10,000 results, the total number of results will be indicated at the top of the results. If this happens, it's best to refine your search to ensure that the assets you need will be displayed.
If you enter a single word search term and misspell it, "did you mean" suggests a correctly spelled word that will yield search results. Click the option presented to review the search results.
Sort search results and switch between card and list views with the new toggle on the right side of the screen. Navigate through multiple pages of results. Sorting options, including sorting by date added, expiration date, file size, and custom metadata, are available in the gray bar in search results.
Card View : The default display for search results provides an asset preview, filename, and action icons as well as a visual, grid-like layout of assets.
List View : Displays results in a table format and shows a smaller preview, filename, and action icons. It allows you to quickly scan multiple assets. Toggle between card and list views with the new toggle on the right side of the screen.
Search results thumbnails display primary actions for assets, like downloading and sharing. Either hover over an asset or click the Thumbnail dropdown and check Show Details to see more information about assets.
Hovering over an asset or showing details displays all details about assets, including a description, number of versions and alternate previews, asset group flags, the collection name (if an asset is included in a global collection), metadata, and the secondary actions of watching, commenting, editing, and deleting.
If you uncheck Show Details, hover over the thumbnail of an asset to see more details about it.
Secondary actions, including watching assets, commenting, editing, and deleting, are included in the gray bar in the asset thumbnail footer. The number of versions, if the asset is in a global collection, if there are attached documents, and flags for asset groups information displays when you hover over an individual asset or check Show Details.
To optimize page performance and give you the ability to see 500 results per page, assets display while you're scrolling through results. Use the single arrow by the page number to navigate forward or back by one page, and the double arrow to navigate to the beginning or end of the results. The numbers between the arrows indicate the number of pages. Click the page number to open a window and type in the page number to which you want to jump.
To automatically return to the top of search results when scrolling, click the arrow on the far right.
