### New Version This page introduces the new version of the advanced search, now available following the visual redesign of our platform. You can still access the old version of the advanced search by clicking on "Switch to old search page" located at the top right of the screen. This will allow you to manage the channels until the deployment of the new version of the channels page, as the current version still uses the saved searches from the legacy version of advanced search.

**Advanced Search** is a central feature of Quable PIM. It allows you not only to locate and quickly access all objects contained on the Quable platform using a selection of criteria but also to: * control the columns to display as well as the **sorting order**, * make quick modifications to your classifications, documents, assets, and variants, * create dynamic [widgets](doc:widgets) for your [dashboard](doc:dashboard), and/or * export your search results or translations.
# Accessing Advanced Search You can access it from: * a search using the [Quick Search](doc:recherche) bar. * the **Search** icon in the form of a magnifying glass in the left navigation menu. {1800}

> 👍 Foy your Information > > * The initial view is a list of your existing documents linked to a selected doctype
# Presentation of Advanced Search The page is divided into two sections. The upper section contains: * [Saved searches](doc:recherche-avancee#sauvegarder-la-recherche) * [Search filters](recherche-avancee#options-de-recherche) * [Display options](recherche-avancee#options-daffichage) * Actions: * [Bulk edits](recherche-avancee#editer-en-masse) * [Quick exports](recherche-avancee#exporter-les-r%C3%A9sultats) * [Widget creation](doc:widgets) * [Translation project](recherche-avancee#projet-de-traduction) * [Options for Quable Apps](recherche-avancee#quable-app)

The central section displays the results of your search. {2841}

> 👍 Accessing Objects > > To access the page of an object in the search results section, you can either: > > * double-click on the row, and you will be immediately redirected to the object's page > * click on the icon at the end of the row, opening a new tab to the object's page > >

# Search Options To launch a search, you must specify at least one search option in the upper section. Search options are applied instantly when selected. The more options you use, the more refined your results will be. ## Object Type The **Object Type** parameter allows you to specify on which type of object Quable PIM performs the search. {242}

Option	Description
Documents	(_by default_) The search is performed only on documents. When Document is selected, the Document Type option is displayed to specify the type of documents to search for.
Assets	The search is performed only on assets.
Variants	The search is performed only on variants.
Classifications	The search is performed only on classifications.

## Contains text This input field allows you to directly enter text related to the **name** and **code** of documents to refine your search.

## Add a Filter > 👍 For your Information > > * You can combine multiple filters to refine your search. > * Filters apply to only one object type and doctype at a time. To further refine your searches, you can filter by attributes of your items. These attributes can be general, such as name or code, or specific to your items, depending on your data model.

For example, if you're conducting a search on a document, you can filter the search on: * one of the attributes associated with the document type, * one of the attribute sets, tags, completeness, classification, or workflow associated with the document type, * one of the attributes associated with any of its linked documents. When you add a filter, a dialog box opens to define the filter rules. You can filter by: * Values: all available values in the added filter are offered for selection, * Conditions: a list of operations on the values is available in a dropdown menu. The menu options vary depending on the type of filter added.

> 👍 Good to know: > > * The "Status/Workflow" filter is divided into "Tags" filters and Workflow filters (one for each existing workflow, designated by their names in the current interface language). > * "Status/Workflow" is still usable, but we recommend using the new filters. > 🚧 Limitation on "Text Area" Attributes > > You cannot search for attributes of “text area” and “HTML field” types that contain more than 255 characters.
### Asset tag filters When the **Asset** object type is selected, you can refine your searches using the **Asset tags** filter in the advanced search. _Add screenshot_ Images benefit from an AI-based auto-tagging feature, designed to facilitate image search, filtering, and identification within the DAM, without requiring any prior manual enrichment. How to filter on media tags * Select the **Asset_Auto_Tag** filter. * Choose the **“contains”** condition. * Enter one or more label values to use as filtering criteria. _Add screenshot_ This allows you to quickly identify all images associated with specific labels by directly filtering on the AI-generated tags. > 🚧 Limitations: media tag filters > > * Only images in the following formats can be searched via the tag filter: `.png`, `.webp`, `.jpg`, `.bmp`, `.gif`, `.tiff`. > * Labels are available **in English only**, regardless of the selected data language. > * Search applies **only to media imported into the DAM**. External media are excluded.
### Active Filters When filters have been applied, they are displayed in the header of the search. To remove a filter, click on **X**. {262}
