Searching and using filters is a key part of how teams navigate and discover content in Air. Whether you’re digging through thousands of assets or narrowing down a focused set for a project, Air's powerful search tools help you quickly find what you need—no matter how your workspace is organized.

You don’t need to use a search term to benefit from filters. They’re great for exploration, discovery, and content curation—especially when paired together. Explore the feature on Air and find the exact content you need quick, fast, and in a hurry.

🔎 Search bar

On Air's search bar you're able to input any text and kick off a basic search of your workspace.

At the top of every Air view, you’ll find the search bar—your go-to tool for quick content discovery.

• Search by keyword
  Just start typing—Air will suggest filenames, tags, and relevant assets as you go.

• Jump to boards
  Type a board title in the global search bar to jump directly to a board. As you type, board suggestions in the Jump to... dropdown are ranked by search relevance, with exact or more-specific title matches shown before broader or longer board names. When the search field is empty, board suggestions use the recently updated ordering.

• Search across your workspace
  Use the “Search all files” view to search across everything, or stay within a specific board or library to focus your results.

• Start a search from asset details
  Select a manual tag in an asset’s details to open All files with a contains tag search. Select a Smart Tag to open All files with a contains smart tag search.

Find visually similar assets

You can search with an image from the main search field to find visually similar assets in your workspace. Drag an image into the search field to start a visual similarity search and surface assets that look similar to the image you provide.

🎛️ Filters

Air’s filtering system is designed to be intuitive and flexible so you can slice through your visual library with precision. Filters are available in all plans and show up whenever you're searching or browsing content.

Key features include:

• Organized filter categories
  Filters are grouped into logical sections—like Type, Smart Tags, Upload Source, and Locations—to help you quickly zero in on the most useful options.

• Smart Tag filtering
  Use AI-generated keywords to find assets based on what’s actually in the image or video. No manual tagging required.

• Location-based filtering
  Refine your search to specific boards or libraries using the Locations filter. When you type in the search field, Air returns matching boards across your accessible workspace hierarchy, including nested boards, so you can narrow results with more precision.

Results appear in a partially reconstructed tree with parent and child context, which makes it easier to tell similarly named boards apart.

• Clear selection indicators
  Active filters appear as highlighted filter chips in the search interface, making it easy to keep track of what’s applied and remove filters as needed.

• Descriptive, user-friendly naming
  Filter labels (like “Uploaded by”) are written in plain language so you know exactly what you're filtering by.
