Why can not find "Cool Fever for A3"?

This is strange that the "searching engine" of "Content Library" just can not find "Cool Fever for A3" but "Iroppoi!
How come?

PS: Both "Cool Fever for A3" and "Iroppoi" all can not be found in the "Smart Content"!

PS: But both can be found in the "Product" of the "Content Library"!

    Smart Content uses Metadata, not all older content has had a Metadata file created for them at this time. That is why DAZ Studio has the Content Library Tab and The Products section. You also can Category your content in DAZ Studio.

    Thank you, Jaderail.


    But how come the search engine of "Content Library" can not locate these files?
    PS: Although both can be found in the “Product” of the “Content Library” but not found through the "search engine"!

    Cool Fever contains the following files:

    /People/Aiko 3/Clothing/A3_CoolFever/AS3_CF_Belt.ds

    All nine of them appear in the Content Library when I search for 'AS3' because that is what the files are called. Cool Fever does not have Metadata, so it wont be in Smart Content.

    In the search box, there is a drop-down option to select either 'File' or 'Database', and the tool tip says:

    Click to choose whether to perform the search using metadata in the database or file names


    Cool Fever is not in the database, and neither is Iroppoi because they have no Metadata. If you go to the DIM, select the Installed items, and right click, select Show Installed Files, it will tell you what has bee installed, and the filenames.

    Dear JimmyC_2009.

    You are right.
    It use AS3... instead of cool fever... that can not be searched.
    This is annoying...... especially it is not listed in the "Smart Content" and using AS3 instead of Aiko... as file name.

    I see that you are in the Platinum Club, it might be a good idea to post about Cool Fever there.

    Jen Greenlees can sometimes help with older products that don't have Metadata, and she will see the post in that forum.

    Best wishes.

    I did not know that there is that kind "special service" for "Platium Club", thank you for telling me.

    I just found the other products, normally, do not need to know "file name" in order to search it.
    Inputting the "product name" still can locate the files.
