What keywords do you want to search on?

You can use Smart Playlists and have a rule like Title contains xyz

like have a drama keyword comedy keyword something to that effect

Well you can use Smart Playlists based on Genre

i understand but how does it know. For example toy story how does it know the genre? I would like it to fall under cartoon and children. What does the smart plylist look at when it looks at a file to know what genre it falls under??

It uses the files metadata - it can either get the metadata during the libruary maintenance or you can right-click on the file in mezzmo, select properties, and amend.... if your manual amending make sure you select the "Only update where infomation is missing for media in your library"
