Do search engines make use of IPTC Core metadata?

I'm using Bridge to organise a large group of maps (the maps are JPEG images), which will be published on my organisation's website. These maps are about niche topics and very specific areas of the UK.
I'm wondering if there are any SEO benefits from adding IPTC Core metadata to these map images using Bridge? Does anyone know if search engines use the meta?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I'm talking about whether Google etc. pay any attention to the meta in the images.
My map images are exported from the source map application as JPEGs.
I'm not using a batch 'Save for web' in Photoshop, as the map images aren't designed for viewing in web pages - I'm just putting the maps up on the web to quickly share them for re-use by other people.
In Bridge, I can quickly add the basic meta (copyright notice, addresses, rights usage terms, etc.) by selecting all the JPEGs and then do the title and description individually. Just wondering if it's worth the effort?

Search Engine Logic using beans & JSP's design needed.

I am developing a web app (using JSP, tags, beans, and SQL) that stores Electric utility customers info / data (like Account, meter read info & payments etc.) for retrieval based on search criteria input by the user(by acct, meter , meter location etc..). I need some kind of search engine to search the Customer information(data nearly 3 million records) that takes less than a minute.
Right now I have developed the search engine using JSP's, The JSP's will get the info from resultset query of beans and formatting stuff is done in JSP's. But its very slow....some times it takes 5 to 10 minutes to fetch the results. So, now we have planned to move the "search logic" from JSP's to beans, hoping this will speed up the search engine performance.
Does anyone know where I can get search engine logic using JSP, JavaBeans? , Please let me know is there discussion on this topic / sample code / links / books anywhere ?.
I will really appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Donthy

Hi,
I think to export the logic to the beans will not help a lot, because the .jsp and the beans are compiled together to a servlet anyway. And so, it doesn`t really matter, where the logic has been befor, after compilation it will be in the servlet.. But to have java code logic in the bean and not in the jsp is a good idea anyway. It is always nice to have as few scriptlet code as possible, makes the application more readable..
I think you should better have a closer look to the search logic, and the database. For such huge data amount, the Oracle database would be the best. And then let the database do as many of the search work as possible, because java is a little slow, and the database will be allways faster for this things of work..

Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.

Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.
This problems has been occurring on two different machines over the last two days.

I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser.

LOve Firefox but it's annoying that if I'm using a search engine (I use lots of subscription legal search databases), when I press the back button all the data I entered in the search boxes has disappeared. I'm sure Firefox didn't use to do that?

Please do the following. 
#Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options''' | '''Privacy'''. 
#In the dropdown menu at the top, change it to "'''Use custom settings for history'''" 
#Checkmark the option: "'''Remember Search and Form history'''". 
#Remove the checkmark from: "'''Clear history when Firefox closes'''".

Which search engine is used in Firefox OS search?

I want to know which search engine is used in the search bar of Firefox OS which I used to search for web apps.

Hi Raiyad Raad,
The Global Search feature in your Firefox OS device uses some of [http://everything.me/ Everything.me]'s implementations, while hosted by Mozilla.
Please also note that, depending on your device, it may be possible to change the settings of the default search engine in the browser of your Firefox OS device.

IPTC Core metadata fields lost with PNGs

Hi there,
I have a TIF file which contains data in the IPTC core fields. Converting the TIF to a JPEG will retain most of the fields and can be viewed still in Adobe Bridge.
However, converting to a PNG will lose all of the data. The only way it seems to retain metadata is to set options on the Save to Web options in Photoshop, which doesn't really work too good with a 100mb TIF being converted.
Resampling to PNG in ImageMagick and then reading in Bridge has the same issue, even though 8BIN and IPTC profiles are actually embedded into the file.
Does Bridge support IPTC core metadata for PNG files?
Many thanks!

They've confirmed the same thing i've found, that Save For Web actually preserves a chunk of the IPTC core data, but this isn't really any good for the quality of image I need to save.
It's strange how the XMP preserve option isn't available for a standard PNG save.

Can you make a menu for the right-click search so that when I highlight text and search, I can choose which search engine to use?

If you Highlight text you can right-click on it to pull up a short menu. One option is "Search x search engine for 'highlighted text'" Previously, the search engine selected would be whichever search engine was selected on the search bar, so Google or Amazon.com, etc. Because you can no longer change that selection before you search, the search engine is set to your default. Was an annoyance before, but now it's just a hindrance.

Strongly recommend Context Search extension which will solve your problem

Can't SSAS engines make use of more than one aggregation to answer a query?!

I have a very simple cube (just for testing and training) . This cube contains two dimensions: [Dim Soccer Player] contains one attribute hierarchy [player name], the other dimension
is [Dim Match Acts] contains also one attribute [Acts] which has values like fouls, goals, saves, tackles… etc. And of course a Fact that contains one measure of Just Count ... that simple ... so this cube can
answers a question like how many goals scored by "Messi", for example ... a very simple trivial cube.
I'm testing aggregations and their effect. so first I've designed one aggregation (Aggregation 0) on the granularity level of [Player name], then
I run a query to get the count of ALL the[Acts] done by each [Player name] ... I've checked the SQL Profiler and I found that the aggregation was used.
Then I cleared the cache, and I run another query, but this time to get just the number of Fouls committed by each [Player name], I checked the Profiler but the Aggregation 0 was NOT used.
I went back to the aggregations design tab in BIDS, and I added another new aggregation (Aggregation 1) on the level of [Acts], so now I have two aggregation one on the granularity level of
[Player name] and the second on the level of the [Acts].... I cleared the cache again and rerun the last query. NONE of the aggregation was used!
In the third test I deleted Aggregation 1 and added [Acts] to Aggregation 0. so Aggregation 0 now on both [Player name] AND [Acts]... cleared the cache and rerun the last query. Aggregation
0 appeared again.
I just want to make sure (and if possible know why) the SSAS engine can't make use of and combine more than one aggregation to serve a query (point number 2), and that to design an aggregation
that will serve a query which contains attributes from different dimensions, I have to add ALL the attributes in that query in that one aggregation, like point 3 ... is this true?!

I think you are on the right track. You need to include all the attributes used in one query in the same aggregation (like #3) for it to be used. Example #2 works as I would expect. Queries above the grain of the agg (query by player name and an agg by
player/act can be used) can be used. Queries below grain of the agg (example #2) can't use the agg.

How can I change my search engine? Used to have Google and now Bing is brought up whenever I type a few words on the address tab...

I recently installed a video player software and it changed my search engine to Bing automatically and I hate it! Would like to have Google as my main search engine whenever I type a few words on the address part... Thanks!

Display the filed instructions (that´s under IPTC Core metadata).

Hi all
I´m new on programing scripts in Photoshop..and tried everything but was not able to change the script below. Let´s explain this script is found at Adobe Photoshop default folder and works to show the Camera Model used to the current image.
Now..the challenge...I want to change the scripts so when you run the it shows a field called Instructions (that´s located in the IPTC Core XMP metadata Tab. (In Photoshop > open an Image > go to File menu > File Info option and see the IPTC Core Tab > Instruction field).
Can anyone please help me to change this lines. It could look very simple for you but it´s actually very difficult to me; This base-script is what I have and works fine to display the camera model:
try {
 var xmpString = activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData.toString();
 var tiffModelLength = ('<tiff:Model>').length;
 var tiffModel = xmpString.search( '<tiff:Model>' );
 var tiffModelEnd = xmpString.search( '</tiff:Model>' );
 var tiffModelStr = xmpString.substr( tiffModel + tiffModelLength, tiffModelEnd - tiffModel - tiffModelLength );
 if ( tiffModelStr.length > 0 ) {
 alert( tiffModelStr + localize ( '$$$' ) );
 // check the exif
 var exifModelStr = '';
 var exifData = activeDocument.info.exif;
 for ( var i = 0; i < exifData.length; i++ ) {
 if ( exifData[i][0] == 'Model' ) {
} // try end
catch( e ) {
// always wrap your script with try/catch blocks so you don't stop production
// remove comments below to see error for debugging
// alert( e );
Thank you a lot for any help.
Gustavo.

Here is one of X's functions that should give you the information..
#target photoshop
var xmp = activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData;
var Instructions = parseMetadata(xmp,"photoshop:Instructions");
alert(Instructions);
function parseMetadata(xmp, tag) {
var re = new RegExp('<' + tag + '>(.+)</' + tag + '>');
var m = xmp.match(re);
if (!m) {
 re = new RegExp("<[^:]+:" + tag + ">(.+)</[^:]+:" + tag + '>');
 m = this.xmp.match(re);
return (m ? m[1] : '');

IPTC field codes -- Bridge IPTC Core metadata

Is there a reference somewhere as to which IPTC codes match up with the IPTC Core fields in Bridge metadata?
A list of the codes is here, so you know what I'm talking about. For example, the Description field in Bridge metadata corresponds to the Caption / #120 code in this list:
http://www.fotoware.com/binaries/fsp50/userguide/28.htm
I'm using a plug-in that writes image info from a database into the corresponding file's IPTC fields based on the IPTC code, but the names of the fields on the list of codes don't match up with what they're called in Bridge, so it's taking a lot of trial and error to figure out where things go.

Never mind, found one. It doesn't mention Bridge specifically, but it has Photoshop and Lightroom (along with several other image-browsing apps) and both seem similar to Bridge:

Script to add content to IPTC core metadata fields

Is there the possibility that a script could be used to add data to IPTC standard fields?
Thanks.

Does the Webkit engine make use of the browser cache when downloading images?

I am creating an application that downloads a lot of images. Its an HTML Javascript based AIR application. I can't seem to find any documentation that relates to how cacheing is handled. Is there a cache for the webkit browser?

Can you copy this to the Feature Request forum so we can vote on it please? http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family And then post the link here so we can find it. It'll get my vote.
There are a couple of others you might like to vote on too, such as using the embedded preview for editing down. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_capability_to_display_embe dded_preview
In terms of workarounds for now, if you haven't tried the 4.2RC yet, you might find the module switching a bit faster. And for better use of your exports processing power, try splitting your export into 3 or 4 and running them concurrently (i.e. set the first going, and immediately set the second going, etc.) as that'll make better use of the extra cores if your hard drives are able to keep up with them.

How do I make google my default search engine instead of inbox search engine?

Google was my search engine anytime I would type just keywords into the line where you type web addresses. However, I somehow must have uploaded a new search engine called 'Inbox', which I don't care for, and now I have to type keywords into the search to the right of the screen to use google. I would like to make google my permanent search engine when using Firefox. Any suggestions? I thought I had already deleted the inbox toolbar, but it didn't change my search engine. I am not so computer savvy so...
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== don't know how or when

I had this problem to, drove me insane for weeks. Eventually i found out how to solve the problem though:
1. Open a new tab and in the address bar, type in "about:config" (without the quotations)
2. A little warning pops up, just press ok and move on.
3. In the filter search type in "inbox" (without the quotations)
4. Right-click on any of the results that pop-up and click reset.
That solved the problem for me, and hopefully it will for you as well.
