5.1. WORKING WITH THE FILE BROWSERS 49
Live will search for the contents typed in the Search eld throughout the entire Browser
root. Alternatively, you can search within a single folder in the Browser with the (PC) /
(Mac) context menu's Search In Folder command.
After entering search criteria, begin the search by pressing
on your computer key-
board. Live will nd les that contain the search criteria in their name or sufx (e.g., .wav).
The search results will also include les that contain the entered criteria in any part of their le
path. This means that a search for bass, for example, will yield not only les with names
containing the word bass but also those located in folders with names containing the
word bass. Compressed sample metadata tags are also included in the search, making it
possible to search for songs from a specic album or artist, for example. Searching le paths
and metadata can be deactivated with the Search In Path and Search In Metadata settings,
available in Live's Options menu or via the context menu. The names of MIDI tracks within
multitrack MIDI les are also included in searches.
Note that the rst search of any folder will always take longer than subsequent searches, as
Live creates an index of the folder's contents to facilitate efcient searching.
You can abort an in-progress search with the Exit Search button located to the right of the
Search eld. A second click on this button closes Search Mode, returning the Browser to
Browse Mode. Beginning a new search aborts any current searches by default.
Exiting Search Mode.
A useful feature of Live's Browser search function is the Locate In Browser button, found to
the right of the Search eld. After nding a particular le in Search Mode, you can select
the le and click this button to open the le in Browse Mode, where its location in the folder
hierarchy will be displayed.
