Searching

At the top of the category list is a search field. You can type in descriptive words, or "keywords" into the search field to help content you are looking for. The results of your search appear in the thumbnails area. The search field responds as you type each letter into it. For example if you start by pressing "k" the results in the thumbnails section will automatically be created with elements that start with k. As you type each subsequent letter the search results will narrow down.

Here are some guidelines to help you get the best results when using the search field:

The search field searches the names of the elements, not the category names. However most element names start with a category name. For example if you type in adornment, you will find and element who's name begins with adornment.

The Library uses a "starts with" type of search. This means if you typed in a search for "low" it would find elements named lower but not flower.

Depending on the speed of your computer it may take a second or two for your results to appear.

The search field always searches every element in the Library not just the category or search results that you already have.

You can clear the search field completely by pressing the reset button.
