# Search

Users can search for 3D models, images, and other assets stored in their collection, sub-collections, and collections shared by team members.

## Search by Text

Type your search criteria in the header search bar next to the ![](/files/Mzqp8lIShk7XDW3NWA1f)  icon.

Assets will appear in the search results if any of the following asset data includes the search text:

1. Asset file name
2. Asset tags and AI-generated tags&#x20;
3. Names of linked files associated with the asset
4. Asset metadata keys&#x20;

## Search by Image

Click the ![](/files/1lEB6HtzjiH20DPbYVhU) icon in the header search bar to upload a search image file. Search images must be of type **.jpg, .jpeg, or .png**.

The search results will show all 3D models and image assets that have at least 50% visual similarity to the search image file. Upon search, a similarity filter will appear that allows you to redo the search with a different minimum similarity.&#x20;

## Search by Model

3D model search allows you to use one 3D asset to quickly find more assets like it. This tool helps teams remove redundancies from their 3D library and save on storage and find relevant, style-matched 3D assets.

Click the ![](/files/l3zYzozvW1R7jniMq4nO) three dots menu of any **.obj**, **.glb**, or **.usdz** asset, and select "Find similar".

The search results will show all 3D models and image assets that have at least 50% visual similarity to the searched asset. Upon search, a similarity filter will appear that allows you to redo the search with a different minimum similarity.&#x20;
