Using Smart Search

Contents

    FontAgent® lets you search for fonts by their names, properties and metadata using its Smart Search facility.

    Smart Search allows you specify complex search with multiple, specific criteria. It is accessible from two places in FontAgent:

    • When you click the magnifying glass in the Search field
    • When you define a Smart Set

    To start a Smart Search, click the magnifying glass icon in the Search field at the top of the center column and FontAgent displays the Smart Search dialog.

    To group your search results By Family or By Foundry, click the corresponding checkbox at the top of the search dialog. Click Save and FontAgent will display the results of your Smart Search in the Table or List View.

    • Enter your first rule by using the pull-down menus to select an attribute, operator and value.
