+ <title>Searching your Banshee Library</title>
- <p></p>
+ <p>Banshee features a powerful search language. You can search your
+ library quickly and easily with basic search terms or perform detailed
+ searches with Banshee's advanced search terminology.</p>
- <p>
+ <p>To perform a search of your media in Banshee, press the <key>S</key> or
+ click the <gui>Search</gui> box in the upper right hand corner of the Library
+ view in Banshee.
</p>
+
+ <p>A search query consists of some basic terms, for example,
+ <em>dave matthews</em>. By entering <em>dave matthews</em> in the search box,
+ Banshee will search all metatdata fields including Track Title, Album Title,
+ Album Artist, Year, etc. Any track whose metadata includes <em>dave</em>
+ and <em>matthews</em> will be returned. Search terms are case insensitive
+ so you don't have to capitalize. <em>dave</em>, <em>Dave</em>, and <em>DAVE</em>
+ all mean the same thing when searching.</p>
+
+<section id="operators">
+ <title>Basic Operators</title>
+ <p>Operators can be placed between any two search words or placed before a
+ search word. The default operation is <gui>AND</gui> and is used when
+ no other operators are used between two search terms. Because it is the
+ default, there is no explicit AND operator.</p>
+
+ <p>Other basic operators include <gui>OR</gui> and <gui>NOT</gui>. Together,
+ these three operations can yield very powerful queries to help you search
+ your media.</p>
+
+</section>
+
+<section id="logical">
+ <title>Logical Operators and Examples</title>
+ <p>The following is a list of logical operators and examples of the search
+ results when searching using them.</p>
+
+ <table frame="all" rules="rows" shade="rows">
+ <tr>
+ <td><p><gui>Operator</gui></p></td> <td><p><gui>Description</gui></p></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><p><em>default</em>, <em>white space</em></p></td> <td><p>
+ Search for two terms with a space between the two words or terms.</p></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><p>OR, or, <key>|</key>, <key>,</key></p></td> <td><p>
+ Search results will be two terms with either result in any field.</p></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><p>NOT, not,<key>-</key></p></td> <td><p>
+ Do not display search results with any search team that follows the
+ operator of NOT, not,<key>-</key>.</p></td>
+ </tr>
+
+</table>
+
+ <p>Examples of logical operations include:</p>
+
+ <table frame="all" rules="rows" shade="rows">
+ <tr>
+ <td><p><gui>Query</gui></p></td> <td><p><gui>Description</gui></p></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><p>dave matthews</p></td> <td><p>
+ Matches any fields in a track containing both <em>dave</em> and
+ <em>matthews</em>.</p></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><p>dave, matthews</p></td> <td><p>
+ Matches any fields in a track containing both <em>dave</em> or
+ <em>matthews</em>.</p></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><p>dave or matthews</p></td> <td><p>
+ Matches any fields in a track containing both <em>dave</em> or
+ <em>matthews</em>.</p></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><p>dave | matthews</p></td> <td><p>
+ Matches any fields in a track containing both <em>dave</em> or
+ <em>matthews</em>.</p></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><p>-"dave matthews"</p></td> <td><p>
+ Displays all tracks whose fields do not containt <em>dave
+ matthews</em>.</p></td>
+ </tr>
+
+ </table>
