Understanding PhraseFind
Now that you have purchased and activated PhraseFind, there are a few things that might help
you understand how PhraseFind works.
Things You Should Know About PhraseFind
• For best results with PhraseFind, Avid recommends using Avid certified storage solutions.
• You can continue to work while the system indexes your project.
• The system creates a SearchData and a PhoneticData folder located in your Projects folder
when you index text or phonetic searches. If you are working in an ISIS environment, the
SearchData folder is located inside the Project client (computer name) folder. Within the
PhoneticData folder is a “1” folder that holds the first 5000 files, a second (2) folder is
created which holds the next 5000 files. If you delete these folders, the system creates a new
SearchData folder and indexes your bins the next time you open a project.
• The system does not index clips that are offline. PhraseFind does index AMA clips as long
as they are online.
• Only the Clips and Sequences tab applies to PhraseFind. The Script Text tab and Timeline
and Monitors tab do not apply. (These tabs are used with text find.)
• You can purchase and have multiple language packs installed on your system, however, you
can only choose one language at a time. A project can use multiple languages, but only one
at a time.
• The use of quotes in search queries has no affect on results in PhraseFind.
• The system does not search and find referenced clips in a sequence.
• PhraseFind searches words or phrases that are misspelled. You can enter search criteria that
is spelled like it sounds.
• If you make a change to a bin (or add a new clip to the bin), you must save the bin first in
order for the system to index and then find the changes.
• When you perform an Edit While Capture in an Interplay environment, you need to update
the bin so that the system indexes your new media. After you capture, right-click the clip in
the bin and select Update from Interplay. Then save the bin. When you perform a
PhraseFind, the system should find the new captured clips.
• If you want to refresh your results, save a bin.
• Before you filter to refine your results, you need to first perform a find, then the Filter
columns are selectable.
