When you create a query in Wwise, you set up a unique search that will be used to find objects in a project. After you name your query, it is saved for future use.
You can create queries in two places in Wwise:
Queries tab of the Project Explorer
Within the Query editor
To create a new query from the Queries tab:
In the Project Explorer, switch to the Queries tab.
Do one of the following:
Select a Work Unit or Virtual Folder and click the Query icon in the Project Explorer toolbar.
Right-click a Work Unit or Virtual Folder and select New Child > Query from the shortcut menu.
A new query is added to the selected Work Unit or Virtual Folder.
Replace the default name with one that best represents the query, and then press Enter.
