Hi,

Just 2 questions regarding Metadrive's searching feature:

1) When I search through files in a folder Metadrive gives results in a non-alphabetical order. Is there any particular hierarchy criteria the results are presented by Metadrive (ex. suitability, date of document created?)

2) Is there a way to narrow search by looking ONLY for documents containing a not separated word stream like "The Game of Thrones" or 2 words stream like "Blue chip"

Many thanks and regards,
Iwona

Hello Iwona,

1) Metadrive uses Google Drive API search engine to search in folders. It's not possible to search applying any order, by default files are ordered by relevance. Then you can apply any order options with Metadrive.

2) To do an specific search like that, you need to include quotation marks in your search. That means you need to write in the search box "The Game of Thrones" exactly. For example, you have 2 documents, one with "Game of Thrones" and the other one with "Game Thrones" in the description, if you search "Game of Thrones" without quotation marks you will get both files, but if you do the same search with quotation marks, you will get just the first document.

Let us know if it's clear or if you have any other question.

Best Regards
