Feature Guide: Search (beta)

We're currently beta testing a new search experience in DISCO!

At a glance

The new search experience is available for all DISCO users and can be accessed from the left sidebar.

Some highlights of our new search experience include:

• Typo and spelling tolerance
• Support for fuzzy searches
• Search suggestions
• Better support for non-English characters, including Korean and Japanese characters
• Faster performance
• Smoother loading

For more details, check out our blog!

How it works

Accessing the new search page

1. From the left sidebar of your DISCO, select Search BETA.
2. The new search page will open and the left sidebar will be collapsed.
   

Types of searches

The following search types are supported:

• Keyword searches - available to all users on DISCO. These function similarly to standard searches where you type in a keyword and results are generated by pulling from your Track metadata. You can also add Filters and conditions such as Title, Artist, and Year.
  
• Prompt searches (via AIMS integration) - These are only available to users with our AIMS integration paid add-on. Visit this article for details.
• Similarity searches (via AIMS integration) - These are only available to users with our AIMS integration paid add-on. Visit this article for details.

Performing a keyword search

1. From the left sidebar of your DISCO, select Search BETA.
2. Enter a keyword in the Keyword field.
3. Optional: Add Filters.
   • Metadata
   • Tags - filter by specific Track Tags
   • Look in - you can now find Tracks in Inboxes and Channels, in addition to what's in your Browse area
   • Date ingested
   • Duration
4. Optional: Add conditions such as Title, Artist, and Year.
5. Press the Enter key on your keyboard or click the Search button.

Example:
In this example, we wanted to find Tracks that meet two criteria:
1. Metadata contains "bass"
2. Year is before or equal to 2016.
