Search & Filter System

Sharp Stock provides an extremely flexible search and filter system designed to help you locate specific items among tens of thousands of complex assets in seconds.

1. Top Search Center

The search bar is located at the top center of the main interface and is your most frequently used entry point for resource retrieval.

  • Search Box: By default, the system simultaneously searches filenames, notes, and associated tags. When a library is open, press Ctrl+F (Windows/Linux) or ⌘F (macOS) to move focus to the search field and select the current query text. While focus is in the search field, press Esc to clear the query and refresh the list.
  • Search Scope Toggle: Click labels within the search box to precisely limit the search scope:
    • Filename: Matches only original physical filenames.
    • Notes: Matches only manually entered or AI-generated description text.
    • Tag: Matches only all custom tags associated with the asset.

2. Advanced Search Commands

The search system supports standard logical operators, allowing you to build precise complex queries.

Logical Operators

Common Logical Operators

  • AND: Default logic. For example, entering blue icon will match assets containing both "blue" and "icon".
  • OR: Use all-uppercase OR. For example, entering hero OR character will match assets containing either keyword.
  • Exact Phrase: Use double quotes to enclose phrases (e.g., "Main Menu") for an exact match.

TIP

Logical operators (AND, OR) must be in ALL UPPERCASE to take effect.


3. Precision Filter Panel

Click the "Filter" icon to the right of the search bar to call up the powerful advanced filter panel.

  • Filter by Type: Supports selecting images, audio, Spine animations, 3D models, videos, etc. Multiple categories can be selected at once.
  • Filter by Size: Provides multiple file size range filters from <100K to >10M.
  • Unknown Asset Filter: A toggle at the bottom of the panel allows you to show or hide files with unrecognizable formats.
  • Active Filter Tags: Currently active filter conditions are displayed as tags below the search bar; click to remove them.
  • One-click Reset: Clears all selected type and size filters.
