Searching for Your Files

MediaFire's search function makes it easy for users to find specific files or folders within their account. This comprehensive article will guide you through how to use MediaFire's search function, including its location, operator, subset of words, quoted string, and output limit.

Location

MediaFire's search function is located at the top of your account page. It is represented by a magnifying glass icon, and it is easy to locate.

Operator

MediaFire's search function uses the "or" operator when multiple keywords are used. This means that all the results of "Dream" are added to all the results of "State." For example, if you search for "A dream state," you will get results for "A dream state," "Texas state demographics," and "A wholly unrelated file."

Subset of Words

You can also search for a specific word or phrase by using only one keyword. Searching by "Dream" will only show results of "Dream." This allows results that contain some subset of the words, making it easy to find the files you need.

Quoted String

If you want to match more explicitly when multiple keywords are used, you can use a quoted string. The quoted string has to exactly match and is not an "AND" operator. For example, if you search for "an example search," it will match the file "an example search here.pdf," but not "an example of search.pdf."

Output Limit

MediaFire's search function has a limit of 100 result lines, so make sure to use specific keywords or phrases to get the most relevant results.

In conclusion, MediaFire's search function is a powerful tool that can help you quickly find the files you need. By understanding its operator, subset of words, quoted string, and output limit, you can use it more efficiently and get the most out of your MediaFire account.
