Search & Filter

Learn everything you need to know about searching and filtering.

Introduction

fylr offers several tools to search and filter for records. From defining your sources, to powerful full text searches and expert options, this article explains the possibilities.

Sources

In Sources, you define the data set that is included in your search. Depending on your system configuration, different object types may be available, such as "Collection Items" or "Media Assets", as well as different pools like "Event Photos", "Stock Photos", or "Department 1".

You can select or deselect multiple pools using keyboard shortcuts:

  • Press and hold CTRL / CMD to select or deselect individual pools.

  • Press and hold ALT to select or deselect all subsequent pools.

  • Press and hold SHIFT to keep subordinate pools unchanged.

Working with Search Elements

Search elements represent the individual criteria that make up your search. Once a search element has been added, it can be selected, edited, copied, moved, or removed without having to recreate it from scratch.

Selecting and Moving Search Elements

Search elements can be selected and repositioned within the search bar. This allows you to organize complex searches and keep related search criteria together.

Simply click on a search element to select it and drag it to a new position.

Selecting Multiple Search Elements

To perform actions on multiple search elements at once, you can select several elements simultaneously.

Use the standard keyboard shortcuts of your operating system:

  • CTRL (Windows/Linux) or CMD (macOS) to select individual search elements

Once selected, the elements can be moved, copied, cut, or deleted together.

Using Cut, Copy, and Paste

Search elements support standard Cut, Copy, and Paste operations.

This allows you to reuse search criteria, duplicate complex searches, or transfer search elements between searches without recreating them manually.

The standard keyboard shortcuts can be used:

  • CTRL+C / CMD+C – Copy selected search elements

  • CTRL+X / CMD+X – Cut selected search elements

  • CTRL+V / CMD+V – Paste copied or cut search elements

Editing Search Elements

Search elements can be edited after they have been created.

To edit a search element, simply double-click it.

Removing all Search Elements

To remove all search elements at once, click the X button on the right in the search area. This clears the entire search and resets all applied search criteria.
