Searching the List
The simplest method for searching is to type a keyword (or keywords) into the Search field above the Database/ Browser:
1.Click the Database heading in the Browser pane to select it.
2.Click in the Search field and type in your search term(s). Terms can include an artist’s name, a song title, BPM, etc.
3.As soon as you start typing, Torq will begin searching the Database for the letters you have typed. There is no need to hit the Enter key on your keyboard.
4.When you stop typing, you’ll have a list of all files that contain the search term in one of its fields.
For example, if you type the word “love” into the search field, Torq could return the following results:

Power of Love | World Clique | |
|
|
|
Jennifer Love Hewitt | Can’t Stand in the Way of Love | Let’s Go Bang |

Love and Rockets | Angels and Devils | Express |
|
|
|
Madonna | I’d Rather Be Your Lover | Bedtime Stories |
|
|
|
Sade | Flow | Lover’s Rock |
|
|

4.
Using our example above, confining the search to the Song category would yield the following results:
Artist* | Song | Album |

Power of Love | World Clique | |
|
|
|
Jennifer Love Hewitt | Can’t Stand in the Way of Love | Let’s Go Bang |
