Entering Search Text

When searching for materials or render appearances, you can enter search text in the box of the dialog.
The search is not case-sensitive. Use commas, spaces, or semi-colons as delimiters. Revit Architecture
automatically performs an OR search on multiple words.
Revit Architecture searches each item for the specified text, checking its description and keywords. If you
selected a class, Revit Architecture searches only items in that class for the specified text.
The dialog displays matching items, sorted in order of relevance. Items that match all of the search words
display at the top of the list. Items that match fewer search words display near the bottom of the list.
TIP To clear the search field, click the X that displays at the end of the field after you enter text.
