After adding a connector and mounting a folder, you can search for objects within that folder. In addition, you can add tags to objects to help with searching.
The Digital Hive search function relies on the Elasticsearch® engine installed when Digital Hive is installed. A Digital Hive search looks for matches in the following fields of an object:
- name
- description
- tag list
You can search on tags, but you must create the tags first. You can search for exact strings by putting them in quotation marks. You can target the search to any of the search areas of an object by prefacing a key word with the following terms, including the colon:
-
name: -
description: -
tags:
