searchable metadata

[Mark Aldred]

Is it possible to search for a particular metadata value and retrieve a list of files that have this metadata set?  That would be a great feature.

[Travis McLane]

Metadata is specific to the item to which it is attached and there is not a way to globally search it at this time.

That being said a 'tag' is something that would accomplish what you wish to do.
If you tag all the resources that you wish to find with a value say 'Project X' and then also apply metadata to those same items with the same name you will be able to query all items with the tag 'Project X" from the /tags resource found at the root cloud resource.
This resource lists all tags that have been created. 
Querying each of these tags in turn will return a FileList of all the items that have been tagged with this value.
Each of the items returned would then have the metadata 'Project X' also attached to them.

Hope this helps.

That helps greatly.  I guess I should go back and read the spec again...
