Ableton Forum

I would love to not have to search through dozens of samples, clips, or various presets I never use to get to the one effect or sample I made.

For instance, use Ableton search for "Mono". The Mono effect on the utility plugin is listed as the 12th item. I try to find "Saturn" for FF Saturn, and the entire first page is filled with core library items with "Saturn" in their name.

Yes, me too, please!

Yeah that would be grrrrreat!
Desire this feature from day one usage of Live
And it would be so easy to implement now with the tagging system in Live 12.. Not just for the core library but the whole.
Big miss on many search interfaces on websites as well, I think.
There not just should be "include" but also "exclude". Just logical. Especially on long lists. As we have in Live..

Thanks for your feedback. We understand the need for this.

In the meantime, have you tried combining search with filters?
Type in your search term, then open the Filters view and select Creator|User → This will then show only results user created and non-Ableton content

Please let me know if that helps?

Hi [bge]
thanks for the tip and your comment that you understand the need for this. This already made me happy as it shows that, at least, the topic was recognized inside the Ableton Team and understood (nevermind if it will be implemented or not in the future).

For me personally, the User tag way does not help that much as e.g. I want to search a HiHat from User <and> Ableton space but exclude the ones I dislike (and have disliked in the past already).

But maybe it helps the others here?
