Search Basics - Searching for Video Content

Follow

There are three primary ways to search for video content:

 

1. Basic Search - queries all titles, segments, series and assets and returns them in a basic search result that can be further refined through filtering. The initial contents of the results is based on your account settings, and can include: titles only, segments only, or all results (which co-mingles titles, segments and also series in the results).

The basic search is found in the header of all pages within the platform.

  

Once the search is performed, you can toggle between On Demand Videos, Custom Content Videos (if enabled), Criterion On Demand Videos (if enabled) and Web Channel Videos (if enabled) by clicking on the All Video Source Filter at the top of the page.

Subject and grade filters are exposed by default.  Additional filters can be found by clicking on the More Filters option.

2. Advanced Search - allows for more advanced queries, with pre filtering options for subject, producer, date added, etc. Advanced Search can be accessed by clicking on the link below the basic search box. Search Basics - Advanced Search.

 

3. Search by Standards - returns titles based on their correlations to educational standards. Note: search by standards is not a default option for all platforms and may need to be enabled by an administrator. For more information on Search by Standards, see: Search Basics - Search by Standards.
