Filters limit search results to narrow them down. This is helpful when a search returns too many results. In AMP, filters can be applied after a search, of after clicking the Browse button.

Multiple filters can be applied at the same time (e.g. Format and Date), but only one parameter at a time can be applied within each filter (e.g. only one Item Type can be selected at a time within the Format filter).

Click Remove Filter at any time to clear the filter.

Format

The format filter limits the search results to a specific format (Item Type or Information Type).

Starts With

The Starts With filter limits the search results to item titles that start with a specific letter or number.

Has the Following

The Has the Following filter looks for enhanced metadata applied to the item.

• Geotags- The item has geographic coordinates applied.
• OCR- The item has OCR applied.
• Tags/Captions- The item has Tags/Captions applied (tags are labels added to the item that identify a person, event, location, etc.)

Within Data

The Within Data filter limits where the search will look for the keywords you entered.

• Title Only- The search will only look in the Title metadata field.
• All fields- The search will look in every metadata field.
• All Fields + Content- The search will look in every metadata field and OCR'd content. This is selected by default.

Date

The Date filter limits the search to a specific date range. Dates must be entered in MM-DD-YYYY format, and both the From and To fields must be entered.
