<Search Categories

As you can see, the above search worked—it found songs that contained the word “love” in any category. However, this may not be quite what you were looking for. You may have actually wanted files with “love” in the song’s name only. To search for such titles, you’ll need to confine the scope of the search to the Song category only.

To confine a search to a particular category:

1.Hold down the SHIFT key and click a category name. The category name will turn red.

2.Torq will refine its search results and only show songs that contain your search term within the selected field.

3.You can hold SHIFT and click additional categories if you wish (i.e. you can select Song and Album simultaneously).

4.SHIFT-clicking a selected category will de-select it.

Using our example above, confining the search to the Song category would yield the following results:

Artist*	Song	Album
Deee-Lite	Power of Love	World Clique
Jennifer Love Hewitt	Can’t Stand in the Way of Love	Let’s Go Bang
Madonna	I’d Rather Be Your Lover	Bedtime Stories

Now, only the songs with “love” in their titles are shown.

<Ignore Field

Torq offers another method for refining your searches by means of the Ignore field. Here, you’ll enter terms that you want Torq to omit from the search results. The Ignore command will only be applied to the currently selected categories (explained above).

To omit terms from the search results:

1.Click to put a cursor in the Ignore Field.

2.Type in the term you would like to filter out of the search.

3.Torq will display only the songs that contain the information required in the Search field while omitting the songs that fit the criteria of the Ignore field.

Again, using the example above, entering the term “Lover” into the Ignore field will return the following list:

Artist*	Song	Album
Deee-Lite	Power of Love	World Clique
Jennifer Love Hewitt	Can’t Stand in the Way of Love	Let’s Go Bang

You’ll see that, as a result, “I’d Rather Be Your Lover” has been removed from the list.

When you are done with your search and are ready to begin a new one, press the Reset button. This will clear the Search and Ignore fields as well as deselect any categories that had been previously selected.
