Searching by Text

The AI-powered Deep Search (Beta) tab enables semantic text search for content featuring mesh images. Unlike simple text search that matches exact words, it understands phrases and multiple descriptors in user queries to identify more relevant content. Semantic search can also analyze input across 100 languages, including German, Spanish, and Japanese.

What is Semantic Text Search?

• Recognition of query intention: For vague search inputs, Deep Search can interpret context to grasp the intention. For instance, typing "ho ho ho" brings up content related to Santa Claus by recognizing the iconic catchphrase.
  
• Awareness of synonyms and typos: Deep Search can work around imprecise phrases, keywords, and even typos. For example, typing "jurassic word" still returns content related to the Mesozoic era, despite the misspelling of "world".
  
• Multi-lingual support: Deep Search supports inputs in various languages and their dialects. For example, entering the German phrase "Moderne Lederstiefel für Frauen" returns search results for "modern leather boots for women".
  

1. Click the Deep Search icon button on the Smart Search toolbar (A), or type in your description (B) of a desired object appearance and press Enter to launch the Smart Search panel.
   
2. By default, the Smart Search panel appears with results displayed in the Pack tab. Deep Search actually comprehends the words and lists the content whose thumbnail images matches the description, "Ancient robes for roman aristocrats" in this case.
   
3. You can right-click inside this panel to change thumbnail sizes (A), or open the Content Information panel (B) for basic details.
   
4. Click the sub-tabs to toggle between Item View and Pack View. The system will display All content types by default.
   

Switching Content Types

5. Click the X icon in the search field to clear the text and start a new query. Type in "hospital" for example, and press Enter. When your input is less than three words, a pop-up option for the top three content types with the highest content count will appear.
   
6. The pop-up disappears after three seconds, but you can still click category buttons on the left, Actor for example, to view specific content and have Deep Search return related results, such as hospital staff.
   
   Actor Types: CC Character vs. iClone Crowd

   • CC Character: To find a character for custom design and appearance changes, like hair or clothes, switch to the Actor > CC Character category. For example, searching by the text "European woman with brown eyes and curly hair".
     
     
     Right-click any content and select View Product Page to see the pack and items in the Content Store or Marketplace.
     
   • iClone Crowd: To find low-poly characters for creating crowd animations, switch to the Actor > iClone Crowd category. For example, searching by the text "business people".
     
     
     Right-click on any content and select View Product Page to browse the pack and its items on ActorCore.
     
7. By clicking the Cloth category, the Deep Search will focus on returning results for dressing the characters, such as nursing uniforms.
   
8. Likewise, clicking the Props category will return results focused on items, such as ward, medical supply, wheelchairs, instead of garments.
