# Browse and Find Assets
Find assets by search term, then narrow results by view, volume, or collection.
You can search your assets based on a search term.
When you enter a search term, LinkrUI sends the search request to the selected DAM and retrieves the DAM search results back to LinkrUI.
Use the search bar at the top of the panel to find assets.
Search for assets using in the search field at the top of the LinkrUI panel.
Search runs in the currently selected DAM.
Depending on the connected DAM, you can search across the DAM or narrow results to a supported view, volume, or collection.
For DAMs with hierarchical navigation, browse folders to choose the context for the asset list and supported searches.
For DAMs without hierarchical folder navigation, browse through the collections, sections, views, or result groupings that the DAM provides.
### DAM root labels
The following root labels are explicitly configured for these connectors. Other connectors use the label supplied by the DAM at runtime.
* Box: **All Files**
- Bynder: **Media**
* Canto, Data Dwell, MarcomGather, and Welcome: **Library**
- Cloudinary: **Home**
* coconutbox: **media**
- Dash: **Dash**
* Dropbox: **Dropbox**
- IntelligenceBank: **resource**
* Kiliman: **Kiliman**
- NetX: **Dashboard**
### Search
1. Select the search bar.
2. Enter a search term and select Enter.
3. Results are returned from the current DAM.
If you are in a supported View, Volume, or Collection, the results are limited according to that DAM's search behavior.
If no assets in your current DAM match the search term, LinkrUI displays *No supported assets were found*.
Search results in LinkrUI are the same results returned by the DAM.
***
### Refine Results
The available ways to refine results depend on the connected DAM.
#### Views or Volumes
Each DAM labels this menu differently. LinkrUI shows the DAM’s term here, either as **View** or **Volume**.
Use the View or Volume menu at the bottom of the LinkrUI panel under sort to search in a specific view or volume.
By default, the top one is selected.
After a **View** or **Volume** is selected, the asset list refreshes and shows results from that view or volume.
Available **Views** and **Volumes** also depend on the current user's view permissions for the DAM.
#### Collections
Use the Collections menu to narrow the assets shown.
Brandfolder organizes this level of navigation into **Sections**.
Use the Collections menu at the top left of the LinkrUI panel to narrow the assets shown and limit results to a specific asset set.
By default, All is selected, generating results from all available collections.
After you select a collection, the asset list refreshes and shows only assets from that collection.
The effect of entering a search term while a collection is selected depends on whether the DAM supports search within collections.
When collection search is supported, LinkrUI returns results only from within the selected collection.
{% hint style="info" %}
For DAMs that provide collections without collection search, switching to a collection removes the search term. Entering a search term while a collection is selected switches the scope to all assets.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
This DAM uses global search rather than a user-selectable context-sensitive search preference.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
Global search results can include folder context for this DAM.
{% endhint %}
### AI search
The AI search icon is right next to the search bar on the top of the panel.
It allows LinkrUI to bring back additional results for each search term.
AI search is turned off by default. When you hover over the AI search icon it says AI search is either on or off.
When it's disabled, the icon blends into the background. When it's enabled, the icon is colored.
#### Search with AI
1. Select the AI Search icon. AI search is now on.
2. [Follow the steps to Search assets](#search)
3. LinkrUI returns standard DAM results, plus additional matches based on the search term or image.
When AI search is enabled, sort and filters are disabled.
{% hint style="info" %}
AI search appears only when it is enabled for the account and the assets.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.santacruzsoftware.com/linkrui/search-assets.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
