New SmartSearch™
feature generates instant results when users search media libraries.

Laguna Niguel, Calif.— In the latest upgrade to its industry-leading creative workflow and media
management platform, Simian
has added an advanced, global smart search tool that enables users to get the
results ten times faster than ever before. Simian SmartSearch™ includes an
auto-complete feature that returns real time results instantly with as few as
two keystrokes.

SmartSearch™ is designed to help companies search their
content more quickly and generate better results, no matter the size of their
libraries. Users can search across a wide range of data fields associated with
media files including credits, title, tags, file name, description and even the
comments made on individual files. SmartSearch™ also enhances efficiency and
flexibility when it comes building demo reels and presentations and varying project
management tasks.

“SmartSearch begins returning results when the user types as
few as two characters,” explains Simian co-founder Brian Atton. “They instantly
begin to see the most relevant video, image and sound files. Users can select
the results they want even before they finish typing.”

SmartSearch™ can be used to search the user’s Media Library
and within Simian’s Reels and Projects applications. In each case, users can
search by a variety of criteria and apply filters to manage the results. For
example, results can be filtered by number, date or name.

“We are constantly striving to develop innovative features
to help creative companies work smarter and faster,” says Atton. “SmartSearch™
is just the latest example. It allows companies to better access and exploit
their media assets in order to improve their sales and marketing efforts and
make projects run more smoothly.”
