Search your studio

Afterify has two layers of search: a quick filter for the list you're already looking at, and a global search that reaches across your entire studio.

Filter the list you're on

The Workspace client list and a project's photo grid each have a search icon in their toolbar (or press Shift+S to open it). Type a name and the list filters in place as you type; the icon collapses back down when you clear the term or click away.

This filter only matches on name: client and project names, or photo file names. It won't find a photo by its label, project date or anything else, that's what global search is for.

Search everything: global search

Global search covers your whole studio in one overlay: clients, projects, sections, photos, blog posts, website pages, and quick jumps to settings pages like Billing, Downloads, Watermarks and Templates.

Open it three ways:

• Press Ctrl+K (⌘K on Mac) anywhere in the app.
• Click the search icon in the app header.
• Type a term into an in-page filter (above) and press Ctrl+Enter (⌘+Enter) to escalate it; a Search all of Afterify for "term" hint appears while you type to remind you this is available.

Results are grouped by type (Clients, Projects, Collections, Photos, Blog Posts, Website Pages, Pages & Actions). When a search matches more than one type, filter chips appear above the results so you can narrow to just one. Use ↑/↓ to move through results, Enter to open the highlighted one, and Esc to clear your term (press it again to close the overlay).

Before you type anything, the overlay shows your recent searches, the pages you've recently visited, and a short pinned list of destinations (Studio, Website, Blog, Store, Billing) so it doubles as a quick launcher.

Global search is a desktop feature: the header icon and Ctrl/⌘+K shortcut aren't available on mobile.

Why labels help

Photos are matched on file name first, but also on any labels you've added, so a label like "ring" or "first-dance" can resurface a photo that a cryptic camera filename never would. Global search ranks name matches above label matches, so a distinctly-named photo still surfaces first.
