Enter a search string net to Search in all fields. Click the Search button at the bottom of the IMDI Metadata Search window to start the search. During the search the number of “hits” (matches) to your search criterion is shown, as well as the progress towards completion of the search. Once the search process has started, you can use the Cancel button to stop the search.
