Basic information

This article contains detailed information about using the search filters on the main Search screen to find an image that was already uploaded to Pangea CMS.

Run a search

You can run a search for any image by selecting Image in the search filters.

The following filters might be available when Image is selected:



Keywords

Enter a word or phrase in the Type to search by keywords... box. You see results that include the word / phrase in either of the following fields:

  • English Title/Caption
  • Description

If you enter a phrase, consider using quotes for more precise results. For example, if you search for "cats are fantastic creatures" (including quotes), you see only results that include this exact phrase in full. If you enter a phrase without quotes, you might see results that include just one or two words from the entered phrase.



Entity

Under Entity & site, use the first drop-down menu to specify which entity you want to search. The following options are available:

  • RFE: Images uploaded by sites under Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty
  • VOA: Images uploaded by sites under Voice of America
  • OCB: Images uploaded by sites under Office of Cuba Broadcasting
  • MNB: Images uploaded by sites under Middle East Broadcasting Networks
  • LIB: Images uploaded by LibertyNet

NOTE: When you search images from a different entity, the results will only include images that are shared between entities.



Site
