# CQL search on library images

Library images ship nine searchable fields you can use in Confluence's CQL builder: Asset title (\~), Asset description (\~), Asset category (=), Asset author (=), Asset template (=), Asset capability (=), Asset type (=), Asset feature (=) and Asset tags (=). So the library is directly searchable and reportable from Confluence itself.

## Note

The Search capability is bundled in the standalone Images app as well as the Suite.

## Limits that apply here

| **Limit**                                | **Value**                                | **What happens**                                                                                                                                                                                        |

## Worth knowing

* Standalone Images has no space settings screen, so there is no per-space configuration surface of any kind in that app.
* The Indexing tab is not available in standalone Images, so there is no way to force a reindex there when the search index lags.
* The Migration tab never appears for the Images app. Standalone-to-Suite migration is started from the Suite side.
* Customer-managed egress domains are unavailable in standalone Images. That app declares no external permissions block at all.
* There is no Capabilities (global hide) tab in the standalone Images app, so a standalone customer cannot hide the capability instance-wide from the app either.
