Video Center text search

For Video Center to return a video as a Tag, Keyword, or UUID match, you must enter an exact match into the search field. For example, if the keyword or tag is news123, and you search for news12, then Video Center returns none of the videos with the tag news123. If you enter a valid UUID into the search field, then you receive either one or no results.

Title and blurb search return any video that has any matching words. For example, if you search for puppies learning to swim, then the videos that Video Center returns include videos with only the word learning in the title or blurb, even if these videos have nothing to do with puppies.

If you want to require the search resuts to include a specific word or phrase that matches exactly, you must use double quotes around that word or phrase. For example, if you search for puppies learning to swim, you may receive unwanted results, such as a video titled learning to play the stock market or even a video with the word learning in the Blurb field (which you can see from only the VOD edit page). You can remove both of these results by adding quotes around the word puppies, "puppies" learning to swim. If you know the exact title, you can also search "puppies learning to swim".

Searches can include as many quoted words or phrases as you want. For example:

"puppies" learning to "swim" excludes any results that don't include both puppies and swim

"puppies learning" to swim excludes any results that don't include the exact phrase puppies learning. Therefore, a video with a title like puppies are learning to swim would not be returned.

"puppies" "learning" "to" "swim" include videos titled both puppies are learning to swim and puppies learning to swim.

Additionally, any punctuation, numbers, or symbols inside of double quotes must match exactly.
