Finding the right artist can be simple when you know how to search well. Here are some easy tips to make your text searches on Fusion Smart Search better and faster.
✨ Advice 1: Be Specific
Using a single word may yield broad results. Try more detailed phrases like ‘fantasy game environment’ instead of just ‘fantasy.’
✨ Advice 2: Use Game Industry-Specific Terms
For example, search ‘Arcane asset’ or ‘Arcane game’ instead of just ‘Arcane.’
✨ Advice 3: Be Patient for New Searches
If it’s a brand-new search, it might take a bit longer to generate results. Repeated searches typically take 5-7 seconds.
