Global Search lets you find reels, audio tracks, images, videos, and share links from anywhere in ReelCrafter. Search by keyword, tag, or share link URL. Audio track metadata is searched automatically.

Opening Global Search

Click the Global Search icon (globe + magnifying glass) in the top-right of the app, or press Cmd+K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows.

Searching by keywords and tags

Enter text in the search field and/or select tags, then click Search. Both are optional.

How matching works

• Keywords match names across items. Track metadata is also searched automatically.
• Tags do not apply to share links (share links aren't taggable).
• Using keywords + tags applies AND logic: items must match all keywords and all tags.
• Tabs only appear for categories that have matches.

Finding a reel from a URL

If you have a share link URL but don't know which reel it belongs to:

1. Paste the full share link URL into the search field
2. Click Search
3. Click the result to go to the Reel Detail page

Navigating results

• Tabs: Results are grouped into tabs (Audio, Reels, Images, Videos, Share Links) with counts. If a tab isn't visible, there are no matches in that category.
• Open the item: Click a name to open its detail page.
• Open the folder: Click the folder link to jump to the item's location in the library.
• Share link results: Clicking a share link opens the reel's detail page, not a separate share link page.
• Pagination: Use the controls at the bottom when you have many results.

Common questions

Why isn't my share link showing when I filter by tag?

Share links aren't taggable, so tag filters don't affect them. Add a keyword that matches the share link name, or paste the share link URL directly.

I searched by a tag on an audio track used in a reel. Why didn't the reel show up?

Tag searches return the tagged item (the audio track), not the reel containing it. To find the reel, search by the reel's name or tags on the reel itself.

Do keywords search track metadata?

Yes. Track metadata is searched automatically.

Can I combine multiple words?

Yes. All words in the search field must be present (AND between words).

I clicked a share link result. Why did I land on a reel page?

Share links are managed inside the Reel Detail page. They don't have standalone pages.
