Search for a List or Source

Search lists and sources finds any list or source by name and opens it in a few keystrokes, without digging through folders. It's built for video coordinators, analysts and coaches who work across hundreds of cut-ups, game lists and installs.

Watch the overview

Before you start

• You need Hub Pro 2.15 or later.
• In the desktop app, search sits at the top of the window. In a web browser, or on iPad with a keyboard, open it with the keyboard shortcut. Search isn't available on iPhone.
• Search finds the lists and sources your account can open. Documents and folders aren't searched.

Step 1: Open search

• Click Search lists and sources at the top of the desktop app.
• Or press ⌘ + K on a Mac, Ctrl + K on Windows. The shortcut works from anywhere in Hub Pro, even while you're typing in another box.

• To close search, press Esc, press the shortcut again, or click outside it.

Step 2: Choose Lists or Sources

• Under Search in, pick Lists or Sources. Lists is selected when you start.
• Search looks in one at a time. If you've already searched, switching runs the same search again in the other.

Step 3: Type a name and search

• Type at least three characters of the name. Any part of the name works: "cross" finds "Holy Cross".
• Press Enter or click Search. Search doesn't run while you type, so finish the name first.

Step 4: Read the results

• The count shows above the results, closest matches first: an exact name, then names that start with what you typed, then a word that starts with it, then anywhere in the name. Ties sort A to Z.
• Lists in folders you've opened in Hub Pro on this device show their folder path under the name, so you know where each one lives. Hover a result to see its full path and name.

Lots of matches? Search shows the first 500. Add more of the name to narrow it.

Step 5: Open a result

• Click a result, or move to it with the arrow keys and press Enter.
• Search closes and the list or source opens in its own tab, ready to work.

Step 6: Pick up where you left off

• Open search again and your last search is still there, with its results. Open another result without searching again.
• To search for something new, clear the box, type a new name and press Enter.

Need a hand?

• Shortcut does nothing? Click anywhere in Hub Pro first so it has focus. On iPad, connect a keyboard.
• Search button greyed out? Type at least three characters.
• No folder path under a result? Paths show for folders you've opened in Hub Pro on this device. Open the folder once and its lists show the path from then on.
• No results? Check the spelling, try fewer letters, or switch between Lists and Sources.
• See "Search needs an internet connection"? Reconnect, then search again.
• See "Search by name isn't available on this server yet"? Ask your admin to update your Thunder Server.
• Looking for a document or a folder? Search covers lists and sources. Use the folder menu for everything else.
