Find anything with search

Two search surfaces: one global box that finds assets, projects, and contacts as you type, and a Review Links page that filters and sorts itself.

Browsing works until the library grows. After that, search is the front door, and HoldFast has two surfaces worth knowing.

Global search

Search from the top of the app and results appear as you type, grouped by kind: assets (by name), projects, folders, and contacts. One box answers "where is that clip", "which project was that", and "what is her email" without leaving the keyboard.

Review Links search

The Review Links page carries its own controls, because finding an old link is its own job:

• Search filters by title, slug, project name, or creator as you type.
• Project filter: every link is automatically labeled with its primary project (where most of its assets come from), and the dropdown narrows to one project. No manual tagging involved.
• Sort by name, date, views, assets, owner, status, or project; click column headers in list view to flip direction.

When search is the wrong tool

Search finds a thing you can name. For pulling a set you can describe ("everything approved for client X"), tags plus the Asset View are built for exactly that.
