Caption search
Learn how to use advanced operators when searching by image captions in Visual Layer.
How this Helps
Caption Search directly matches queries to labels and captions, relying on exact or logical matches to surface content. It’s ideal for precise searches where explicit labeling is crucial.
Caption Search Operators
Visual Layer supports several search operators to help you build flexible, accurate caption queries:
| Operator | Description | Usage Example |
|---|---|---|
| AND Operator | Finds results that contain both terms. | black AND cat, black and cat, black + cat, black cat |
| OR Operator | Finds results that contain either one term or the other—or both. | black cat OR black dog, black cat or black dog |
| NOT Operator | Excludes results containing the specified term. | dog -black |
| Exact Match | Matches results with the exact phrase, wrapping terms in double quotes. | "yellow flower" |
Combining Operators
You can combine operators to write more advanced queries.
-
Example:
flower -bird OR tree AND "red leave" -
Result:
This query includes:- Any caption that includes “flower” but not “bird”
- Or includes “tree”
- And must also include the exact phrase “red leave”
Use quotes and parentheses to group logic and ensure the query works as expected.
