Photo Supreme Quick Start

Searching

The primary benefit of using Digital Asset Management software to manage your images is the ability to locate your images incredibly quickly, and Photo Supreme excels in this aspect. It offers various search techniques, including the Search Bar, Advanced Search, Favorites, Filtering, and Dynamic Searches. You can find detailed descriptions of these search methods in the Searching Quick Start Manual located in the Help menu of Photo Supreme. This document will provide a brief overview of the Search Bar.

The Search Bar

The most notable search feature is the search box located in the upper right corner. Here, you can easily enter a phrase or keyword, and Photo Supreme will display all relevant results. This search bar will allow you to perform the majority of your searches efficiently.

Combinations

If you enter multiple search terms separated by spaces, Photo Supreme will interpret that as an AND search. For example, searching for john jane will yield results for all images that include both john AND jane.

You can also explicitly combine searches using the operators AND, OR, and NOT, but remember that these operators should always be written in capital letters.

For instance:

• john OR jane
  This will return images that contain either "john" or "jane."
• john AND jane
  This will find images that include both "john" and "jane."
• john NOT jane
  This will return images that contain "john" but exclude any that include "jane."

To search for exact matches, place a word or phrase in double quotes. For example, "john smith" AND jane will return results for "john smith" along with any images that include jane, but it will exclude other variations of "john smith", such as "John Smith Jones"
