Search Input

Provides access to the current path, and allows entering custom search terms.

Anatomy

The path is relative to the root of the current location, and ends with a forward slash.
The location determines the root path, no matter if you are browsing a library or a folder.

The search term is any text following the path. Once you enter anything, only the results whose name is a (partial or full) match of the term you’ve entered will be included.

Keywords are suggested search terms, extracted from the results (more info).

Excluded Terms

When entering search terms, you can also specify that a term should be used to exclude search results. It’s simple to use: simply prefix any word with a minus “-”, and the application will only return results that does not match that term.

For example, to search for sounds containing the term “hoo” without matching “hooray”, enter the following:

Of course, you can still search for a word that starts with a minus too - just surround the term with quotes to enforce a literal search:

Keywords

Keywords are terms that have been statistically extracted from the pool of names available in the current set of search results. As such, they are very dynamic and will (most likely) change as you switch between folders.

The suggestions are available as ‘floating’ buttons, in the right-hand side of the text input. Since there is only room for a few suggestions there (and there might be many), keywords are also used for providing suggestions while you are typing.

Suggestions

While you are typing in the search input, the software will show you matching paths or keywords:

You can apply those suggestions by hitting either TAB, or by pressing the Right Arrow key. You can also cycle between the available suggestions by pressing the Up/Down arrow keys.
