Search Objects in Databases
****************************************************

FindFace Multi allows you to search for objects in the following databases:

* Database of detected objects (the :guilabel:`Events` tab).
* Dossier database (the :guilabel:`Dossiers`). Contains object reference images.
               
To find an object in a database, do the following:

#. Navigate to the :guilabel:`Search` tab.
 
    |search_dossier_en|

    .. |search_dossier_en| image:: /_static/search_dossier_en.png
       :scale: 60%

    .. |search_dossier_ru| image:: /_static/search_dossier_ru.png
       :scale: 60%

#. Choose the type of objects to search for: :guilabel:`Faces`, :guilabel:`Cars & ALPR`, :guilabel:`Bodies`. 
#. Specify the database to search in: :guilabel:`Events`, :guilabel:`Dossiers`.
#. Specify the object to search for in one of the following ways:

   * By event ID with the object.
   * By dossier ID with the object. Should the dossier contain multiple photos, select some of them to use in the search.
   * By uploading a photo. It will be displayed in the :guilabel:`Photo` area. If there are multiple objects in the image, select the one of your interest.

#. By default, the system searches for objects using the pre-defined identification threshold, different for objects of different types. If necessary, set your value using the :guilabel:`Threshold` filter. 
#. Specify the maximum number of search results.
#. Click :guilabel:`Search`. You will see the search results appear below. For each object found, the matching confidence level is provided.
