The next parameter you can control are the source services that you wish yo sort through. For example, you can choose to limit the search to only files that were uploaded to Google Drive, Vimeo or any other service you have integrated with your medialakeAI account.

You can also limit your search results using the Users parameter, seen outlined in red in the image below, which allow you to ensure you are only search files associated with particular users or team.

Clicking the Search # Assets button at the very bottom of the page will take you to all of your relevant results, as dictated by your search parameters.
