The Creator Studios have a tag field where artists can tag their content for easy searching. The Studio forums have a powerful search feature that allows tagged content to be sorted and listed easily. To begin searching just click Search in the upper left hand menu bar from anywhere in the forums:
A popup box will appear that has a tag field under the What to search header. Enter the word you want to search by making sure to include the hash tag symbol in front of the word. If you're searching for curtains you would type #curtain into the tag field. Next place your cursor into the "in the board" field under Where to search:
This will cause another box to pop up. This box lists all the forums on the Studio site. To narrow your search to the Creator Studios just place a check mark in the box on the Creator Studios line. Click Done to close that box and then click the Search button in the lower right hand corner of the main search popup box.
This will (by default) result in a list of all the posts in the Creator Studios that have been tagged with the search word you used and this list will be in chronological order with newest posts first.
If you would prefer to see the entire thread that contains a post tagged with your word you can switch the default "as posts" selection to "as threads" by switching the check mark in that field.
If you want you can limit your search by creator name also. Place your cursor in the indicated field under the Who to search header. This will cause a box to pop up where you can begin entering the creator's name. The forum search will begin to automatically generate a list of all members whose name begin with the letters you've entered and you can select the creator you're looking for from off that list:
This will result in a list of all posts this creator has made in their Creator Studio and, unlike the studio itself, this list will be in chronological order with the newest content released by that creator at the top of the list.
As an additional feature in the Creator Studio section all tags placed in a post by a creator are hyperlinks that, if clicked on, will perform a search on that tag automatically. What this means is that if you're browsing a Creator Studio, and you see a tag that interests you, you can click on that tag and get a list of all other posts that have been tagged with the same tag thereby skipping the steps of filling out the search pop up.
If anyone has questions about the search feature please feel free to add your question as a post in this thread rather than as a comment. Unlike the Creator Studios which should only be posted in by the creator who owns it this is a FAQ thread so questions are fine
