Feature Request: Search by Keyword Within a Chosen Author's Portfolio - Envato Elements

I am trying to find selected music that I found on Envato market in Envato elements and can’t search by Authors… Please help! It’s impossible to find the audio just like that by searching by titles… Thanks!

@BenLeong do you know if there has been any progress / updates on this? Thank you

i’m a video editor and i use stock footages for songs, ads etc. so most of the time i need clips with same model/location.

so i’ve been searching clips by the name of contributor when i want to find clips with same models. (i signed up for envato last week) i type contributors name and the keyword. then i got results within the contributors profile.

but suddenly today when i tried to search like that envato didnt allowed me to do that.
i got “0” results every time i search something.then i tried previously searched contributors and keywords, and i was shoked i got “0” results.

they doing this “intentionally”. they wont allow people to find clips with same models/locations. i dont know why they do that.

so stop pleading for search feature within contributors profiles. they will never do that.

i was so happy when i found this feature and i wanted to share it here also. this place not helping me at all, i takes one whole day to find 20, 30 clips with same model. i’m gonna cancel my subscription next month. time is more valuble than money.

Ditto re not renewing the subscription. I had assumed it would be a convenient one stop shop, but I’ve given up in frustration and bought assets elsewhere. Worst search function and filters ever.

Hi BenLeong, over 2 years ago this query was raised, and after signing up for EE recently I now have the same issue. Did your Elements team find a way of implementing this search funtion?
Thanks

Hi @dirjampa!

You should be able to do this by searching for an author name (plus any keywords needed), in the Elements search bar.

E.g. searching for spacestockfootage shows all items by that author

Searching for spacestockfootage USA shows items by that author that feature the USA.

No, this is simply not true. Putting the author name gives results from other authors as well.
If there was a modifier to make a keyword mandatory (like “quotes” in google), or if there was an option to search for ALL keywords, then this would work but I don’t know of such thing here.

+1 for this request! We develop online learning and we found an image we like. The contributor has 48000 images on Envato. I can only use the image if there are more of that particular model. Searching for the contributor’s name in the Search bar gives us 500000+ results.

If we can’t search at a more granular level, like within a collection, Envato has lost its usefulness to our business and we’ll have to look elsewhere.

Very true. I was just going through this. I like the video of this girl in an office and would like to obtain other videos of her in that office setting without searching through the hundreds of uncategorized pages of 27000+ content, but i cant. I cant even search the uploads portfolio “silverback” now all i get is content of gorillas.

@GTMotion is absolutely right!

@BenLeong surely you have an update for us? You said this was being worked on in a post on July 17th 2018. It’s still a feature that people want including me!
