Metadata Search

Search your audio library using an extensive range of file metadata — filter by filenames, tags, standard track properties, and comprehensive Universal Category System (UCS) data using powerful search commands.

Using Commands

Curlo features a powerful command-based search system. Simply type / in the search bar to open the command menu and select a filter.

1. Click the search bar or press Cmd+F to focus it.
2. Type / to bring up the list of available commands.
3. Select a command (e.g., /filename, /tag, /ucs) using your mouse or keyboard arrows.
4. Enter your search term after the command chip.

Tips

• Metadata search is extremely fast and precise when you know the exact name or tag of a file.
• Use command search when semantic search returns too many broad results.
• Keep your metadata and tags well-organized for better search results.
