All media files are easily searchable using the Advanced Search Console. Use Titles, Folders, Metadata, Comments, Owners, and more to search through all media channels. You may improve your search results by using the AND, OR, and NOT Boolean operators to join search criteria in creating a precise match for the media files you wish to view.
