# Search your library

> Find assets quickly with AI-powered search

Kive's search understands the content of your images and videos. Type natural language like 'red dress in a forest' or 'warm studio lighting' instead of exact filenames. Describe what you're looking for and the AI finds it — by subject, style, color, or concept.

## Use search

Type natural descriptions in the search bar to find assets. No exact filenames or manual tags needed.

<Tip>
  Try descriptive searches like "sunset over mountains with orange sky" or
  "minimalist logo on white background"
