Note: This article describes our original search experience. We'd encourage you to try our new beta search experience!
All the metadata fields that DISCO displays, including Internal and Client Notes, are searchable.
At a glance
Our original search experience refers to the search bar at the top of your DISCO:
Users on all DISCO plans can use this search to enter keywords to find content within their own DISCO. This search includes both basic and advanced options.
Users with our Discovery Suite add-on also have access to Similarity Search, which allows them to enter keywords, Youtube URLs, or DISCO URLs in the search bar.
Basic Search
To perform a basic search, enter keyword(s) in the search bar at the top of your DISCO. This will search through and yield results from your Track metadata, plus Internal and Client Notes.
You can sort these results by Artist, Newest, Oldest, Name, Relevance, Year, and Release Date.
Advanced Search
With advanced search, you can narrow down your search even more by adding filters. You can enter a keyword and then add filters, or use the filters alone.
Click the arrow to the right of the search bar to open the advanced search:
Note: The search bar in this screenshot says "Search by keyword, YouTube URL or DISCO URL" because this account has access to Similarity Search via the Discovery Suite add-on. If you do not have Discovery Suite, yours will just say "Search by keyword."
Metadata filters
The Filter by dropdown contains the following metadata filters:
- Album
- Artist
- BPM
- Client note
- Comment
- Composer
- Genre
- Grouping
- Internal note
- Lyrics
- Note
- Release Date
- Title
- Year
The BPM, Year, and Release Date filters have additional conditions you can choose from, including:
- BPM / Release Date / Year is
- BPM / Release Date / Year is between
- BPM is less than
- BPM is more than
- Release Date / Year is before
- Release Date / Year is after
Other filters
The remaining filters include:
- Playlist Tags
- Track tags
- Time (this is the date of upload)
- Groups (these include Inboxes, Channels, Folders, and Subfolders)
You can also choose what you'd like to see in your results: All, Tracks, Playlists, Albums, or Artists.
Excluding Search Results
You can exclude search terms from your results by using a Boolean search.
Example:
If you want to find Tracks in your DISCO with 'rock' in the metadata, but exclude tracks that also include 'pop', type in the term (e.g. 'rock') followed by a hypen directly in front of (no space) the term you want to exclude (e.g. 'pop'). It should look like this: rock -pop
You can also exclude whole phrases by putting them in quotes.
Example: rock -"Memory Spells"
Searching with contractions
Contractions are recognized and supported by DISCO search! For example, if you search for the word don't, the results will also include Tracks that contain dont and do not.
