Wwise Help

You can find any element in your project both quickly and easily using the Search tool. The Search tool is a simple text-based search. You simply have to type some text in the Search field and Wwise will search through the entire project to find all elements with matching Names or Notes. If any matches are found, they are automatically displayed in the Results list.

	Note
	You can also type a WAQL query in the Search field by prefixing the query with the $ symbol. Refer to Understanding the Wwise Authoring Query Language (WAQL) for details.

The Search tool tries to create a match by looking at the start of each new word in the Name or Notes field. It is important to understand that throughout Wwise, words are considered separate if they contain non-alphanumeric characters, such as spaces, underscores, dashes, and so on, or a change in case. The Search tool takes this into consideration when looking for matches. The following table demonstrates a few different examples:

The Search tool supports "!" as a NOT operator. Including this operator before any search field text excludes all results that match the text. For example, "!Big" would exclude all items listed as a match for Big in the preceding table.

You can use the List View for performing searches, but you can also do a quick search using the Search field, which is located on the right side of the Wwise toolbar. From the list of results, you can load a project element into its corresponding editor. When using the List View, you can also right-click a selection of entries in the list to perform a variety of tasks, including multi-edit, convert, and delete.
