Keyword search in Aperture 3.0.1

I am assigning keywords, which then show up with the photo and also in the metadata. but when I go to search on a keyword in the library nothing shows up, even tho I know I'm using keywords that have been attached to photos. Can anyone help?

I've seen the notes about not using linear conversion, and I don't think I am. I say I don't think because I only see one place in Adobe Converter to check linear conversion. That's in the 'compatibility' box and then only if I do a Custom setting. The default in the Custom setting comes up without linear checked. I am assuming that if I leave compatibility set to the default of "Adobe 5.4" that linear is not checked. However, I also went ahead and used "Custom" with linear unchecked and it still doesn't work.
The weird part is it worked about 4 days ago with the last set of RW2-DNGs I imported. Today, it doesn't work with new RW2-DNGs OR the ones that did work 4 days ago. Have tried reloading Adobe Converter and restarting Converter and Aperture, to no avail.

Keyword search from Aperture to MobileMe?

Can you have the keyword search function on your MobileMe website if you have uploaded a gallery using Aperture 2.0?

I also want to add to what Mr Endo said...
A) It shouldn't be possible to select a folder and then have the option of publishing to Mobile Me, Facebook or Flickr. For me those are all grayed out when I have a folder selected in the sidebar.
B) Are you referring to a project or an album by chance? If so, then you will need to select the photos, in the Browser, before choosing to upload to an online service.
Cheers,
Owen

Multiple Keyword Searching

I am having trouble doing multiple keyword searches in aperture. Say for instance I tagged a photo with the word "Bob" and then with the word "Park". If I search for just Bob or just Park, I get all photos tagged with one or the other keyword. But if type into the keyword search bar: Bob, Park. No photos come up. I have tried several different ways of searching keywords. Anyone having the same problem or know how to fix it?

The same is written in the [Aperture3 User Manual|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter =14%26section=7%26tasks=true]; it doesn't work in Ap3 either. (The comma seems to be taken a literal character, not as a separator.)
Ap3 lets one add additional filter rules, so that one could have two Text rules. (I never used Ap2.)
Ap3 limits the keyword list to those keywords present in the currently selected container(s). So to at least check what you are doing -- if Ap2 does the same -- select or filter to a number of images with just a handful of keywords total, and see what you find out.
Nice to see the sun for once.

Iphoto vs. aperture keywording search

I'm currently making the switch to aperture. In iphoto, when you have photos tagged with people like "larry" and "bob" and want to find photos with both of them, you can search "larry bob". This will show all photos with both of them in it.
I can't seem to do the same kind of search in aperture. whenever i search "larry bob" nothing comes up even though they are keyworded. I know you can make a smart album with keywords but that will give me every photo with "larry" and "bob". How can I just search for photos with them both.

Rather than use the search field you need to use the search HUD which has loads of extra options.
Click on the magnifier button to the left of the search field.
In the keywords section check the keywords you want to search for.
Make sure the drop-down menu at the top of the keywords section says something like 'all of the following' (the wording is different between A1.5 and A2).

Keyword search able web site with Mobile Me and Aperture?

Is it possible to add feature so photographers can upload keyword search able albums-websites with Mobile Me album using Aperture? Something like the Extensis Portfolio&NetPublish.

You will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

In Keyword List panel, need to support quotes for AND'ing multi-word keyword searches

As far as I know (and read around), there's no way to search multi-word keywords in the keywords list panel using the "Filter Keywords" box. i.e. If I want to search for the "Great Blue Heron" keyword in a large animal keywords list I have, Lightroom will OR the three words instead of AND'ing them like Aperture does more intuitively. Adding quotes like "Great Blue Heron" doesn't work either. Again this is to filter a large keyword lists through the "Filter Keywords" box in the Keywords List panel.
Am I missing something? Is it possible to AND multi-word keywords?
Thanks.

Rob,
as far as I know spaces are also contained and allowed in controlled vocabularies (e.g. for the "official" names of animals 'little panda' for example and plants). I'm using spaces for names very often. As a prof. photographer I need to write captions for all of my images before sending them to my agency with WHEN/WHAT/WHERE/WHO etc. So when shooting persons very often or regular (e.g. politicians or athletes) I started years ago to create keywords and hierarchies for them. So it is much easier and more comfortable to assign them later.
Please check out PhotoMechanic or IMatch. These progs doesn't have any problems with spaces in keywords and keyword searches...
BTW: when using a space in a search I expect that the default behaviour of such a space is a locical AND.

Keyword Search with the search field

Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding search by keywords: when I type in more than one keyword in the search field I do not get any results, no matter if I separate those with a comma or just a space. Isn't this supposed to work? Or do I have to use the search HUD for keyword search? When I am searching my entire library there are a LOT of keywords. I always thought I could use the searchbar just like Spotlight, typing several words and getting results in real-time. It works like this in iPhoto, so why not in Aperture?
Regards,
Stefan

Really?
You mean you can't just click on the Magnifying Glass in the Search Box like I can?
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
And then Select Rating?
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
And then click on the Third Dot and it will become a Star?
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Or even use a Smart Album? File -> new Smart Album: My Rating -> is -> And there's click on the third dot to make it a star trick again?

Storing keyword searches

Hi,
How does one store keyword searches? Can that file be added to?
Thanks

Yes, and I hope it is a bug.
It might be somewhat related to [this|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6719826&#6719826], but I have checked my old (1.5.6) install of Aperture. Doesn't work there either.
From The Aperture 1.5.6 Manual:
+In the Query HUD, enter the text you want to search for in the search field.+
+You can enter multiple text items, separating them by commas.+
+Aperture locates any images that have a match for all the text items.+
+The images that match the search criteria are displayed in the Browser.+
At least I cant...?

In Adobe Bridge, how can I display keywords in their hierarchy, do an "aka" keyword assignment, and perform multi-value keyword searches?

Hi Bridge Geniuses!
I need your help. I am using Bridge to sort and keyword a pretty big photo archive. I have created a pretty long nested hierarchy (4 layers deep, max) and, for a few reasons, would like the parent tags to be automatically included when I indicate a sub-tag. The problem I have now is that the keyword list is distractingly long and organized alphabetically. My first question is this: is there a preference setting in Bridge that will ask the program to display the keywords in their hierarchy? That is, will Bridge present the list as, for example, cars à hybrids à Toyotas à Prius.
My second question is: if I have two or more names that represent the same keyword, is there an “aka” function in this program that will allow me to direct searches for two or more different words to the same keyword entry? (For example, if I want my searches for “Bruce Wayne” to also show entries marked as “Batman.”)
Finally, I would like to know if Bridge will perform keyword searches for more than one word at a time. So far, I have tried entering two keywords with overlap at a time, separated by a space or a comma or a semicolon, and the search comes up empty.
Thank you very much for your help!

I reset my custom workspace and all seems to be well now. My keywords now show, the number of photos each applies to and I can again search.
Thank you.

I can't find sweetim, but everytime I log out of Firefox and back on, it shows up as the default keyword search. How can I fix this!!!!!

I have checked my installed programs, the list of add ons on internet explorer and the one on Firfox, and cannot find sweetim. However, when I try to do a keyword search in the location bar, I am only able to do it twice, until I switch to a new tab. After that, the keyword search no longer works, and gives me a message saying that I haven't typed in the URL correctly or it doesn't exist. There seems to be some connection to www.amazon.com, because everytime I open a new tab and try to do a keyword search in the location bar, amazon.com moves to the top of the small search window, and google moves down. I cannot search in the small window when amazon.com is up, because it won't let me overwrite.
When I check the about:config, and reset to the defaults after 2 keyword test searches, it sets back to the sweetim.toolbar as the default again. I was just resetting Firefox, but I think I've done that 8 or 9 times now, and I still have the problem.
What should I do next to fix this?

HI Noah:
Thanks for your answer. I'm working my way through the blog, and trying to take all of the steps. Hitman Pro did find 5 trojans, and many remnants of other malware, so hopefully that will help. I'll post again when I've finished trying everything else.
I had already run Malware Bytes, It did not find/remove the sweetim toolbar, but found a different trojan. Something is up with my antivirus I think.

Podcast not showing up in iTunes keyword search

Hello, all -
Podcast: Z.E.D.D. Radio
I asked Apple support for help with this, but they basically wrote back and gave me this forum URL. Yes, there are other posts on this "keyword" topic, but they seem to be from 2012, and they didn't quite give me the info I was looking for. Would anyone be willing to help me out? I'm still kinda new at this, even though I've successfully posted 42 episodes of my podcast on iTunes already. I feel I might be losing a large number of potential subscribers because the only way to find my podcast is from the name of the podcast itself, not keywords, and not many people are aware of my podcast.
Basically, I am using Google Feedburner with the Smartcast settings. My show is hosted on Talkshoe.com. A friend set up my podcast on iTunes for me last year, but I have total control of the Feedburner account. I have only 7 keywords in Feedburner and the first one is "zombies." The 2nd one "zombie." I'm sure there are tons of zombie podcasts out there, but when I type "zombies" for a keyword search in iTunes, I'm shocked to see podcasts listed there that have nothing to do about the subject. Worse, after a keyword search, I see shows listed that are not even running anymore. It's like a podcast graveyard, but there is no sign of mine, which updates with a new episode every week.
Am I not submitting keywords correctly in my feed? Is it based on popularity and number of reviews in iTunes? I understand if my show can't compete with the big boys, but to have a podcast show up that has nothing to do with zombies while mine stays invisible (even though it's specifically about my keyword search), really baffles me.
Anyone willing to give me some insight with this? Any help would be appreciated. Just tell me what info or details you need. Thanks!

Thanks, Roger -
It seems to pull up every podcast with the word "zombie" in the title, and then displays some random podcasts that may or may not have anything to do with zombies. I just figured that "zombie" is my one (and now only) keyword, I'd be in there somewhere. Since I was not the one who initially submitted the podcast to iTunes, I have no idea what information was requested and entered at the time...or if that's even relevant. What I do have control over is my source webhosting site (Talkshoe) and the Google Feedburner site, which I'm told is the only thing that matters, unless there was a keyword entry field specific to iTunes during the initial set-up I do not have access to.
It seems like I can enter keywords at Talkshoe (hosting site), and I can enter keywords on my Feedburner (RSS Feed). I've read online that if the source has keywords, the feed keywords will be ignored. They both have the same keywords, so I doubt that's the issue, but I've erased the source keywords and left the Feedburner ones. I'll see if that changes anything when I upload my latest podcast.
Does iTunes ask for keywords during the initial iTunes application process that overrides everything? If so, that my be my problem. I have no idea what the guy who set up my podcast in iTunes wrote? Is that part of the iTunes application process?
Thanks again!

CS3 Bridge keyword search failure

To the best of my knowledge this particular issue has not been covered in the dozens of prior posts about keywords. I apologize if I've missed it.
My photos, by the nature of their creation and paperwork generation, are organized by overall dividers, year, month, partial alphabetic breakdown, and customer name, respectively. I have a need to be able to find photos across all folders throughout the hierarchy that are of the same person. I've been using keywords of the individuals' names to accomplish this and it has been tremendously effective.
In 2009, it became necessary to move all images archived in 2008 to another location on the server. As one might expect, the keywords didn't jive with the index (my reasoning, anyway) and search functionality was ineffective. Not long thereafter, the functionality came back - most likely by way of a non-indexed keyword search.
The same issue has occured this year in that all the images shot in 2009 had to be moved. I have changed the manner in which the structure is built to prevent this from being necessary again in the future, but the keyword search is now not functioning again. However, this time I am unable to re-establish it. I have tried multiple non-indexed (with subdirectory) keyword searches both across the entire server and in smaller folder breakdowns. I have cleared the cache and searched again. Even if I open a folder with brand new files and verify keyword presence and accuracy, a search inside that specific folder will not return a result.
The question is: What have I done / missed?
Even if it had nothing to do with moving the 2009 files, I may have done something to knock something askew that's impeding my search abilities. I don't use Bridge for very complex tasks, so I might need some extra help, but I'm keenly interested in your ideas and expertise. Assistance in any form will be appreciated.

Im geting the same... I tried refreshing cache etc... but no avail...

LR keyword search (coming from PSE Organizer 9)

I am using LR 4.1 RC2. This morning using LR I upgraded my PSE Organizer 9 catalog. It has about 50k photos with keywords and star ratings. It seems like the upgrade worked because I can now see all my photos in LR and they have the keywords and star ratings. Hurray! I am having some trouble figuring out how to do keyword searches in LR though so I hope someone can help.
In Organizer there are several ways to do keyword searchs:
1. Use the Keyword Tags panel and click on one or multiple keywords. Organizer will then display only the photos that have all of the keywords, i.e., it uses AND. This is very easy and is great for finding things very quickly when using one or more keywords.
2. Use Find > By Details (Metadata) which allows searching by multiple keywords and the choice of AND or OR. You can also combine the keyword search with other metadata so that, for example, you can find all Bird photos taken in Florida using a Canon 7D + 100-400mm at ISO 400 in April 2011 that have 3 or more stars. I use this option to search fairly often.
3. Use the Search bar and type in search expressions using NOT, AND, and OR. I occasionally use this for complicated searches that #2 can't handle. This is a pain in the butt to use since you must type everything out, but when #1 or #2 can't do it (which is rare) it is great to have this option too.
Several months ago I read on the PSE forum a thread about using Organizer and an Adobe developer recommended upgrading to LR since it was more flexible and meant for professionals and serious amateurs. Therefore even though I have read the LR help info and can't find how to do sophisticated searches I am sure it is possible and I just haven't found it yet. Here is what I have found so far:
1. Use the Keyword List panel where I can select only one keyword.
2. Use the Library Filter bar where I can do a ctrl-click on multiple keywords, but this results in an OR instead of AND. In other words, if I click on Birds and then ctrl-click on Florida I get all bird photos and all Florida photos (the union, not the intersection). This is probably almost never what a person wants.
I hope someone can tell me or point me to documentation so that I can at least do as much as the amateur Organizer can do. Thank you!

John, thanks for the reply. Yes, I am discovering that the amateur Organizer has much better searching capability than the professional Lightroom. I have already mentioned in my post the flexibility and power and Organizer is not even as good as some other programs. I had spent time investigating LR, but mostly raw conversion and non-destructive editing. I had, I think naturally, assumed that LR's database functions would be at least as good as the cheap Organizer. I never dreamt that they would not be as good or as easy to use. I sometimes wonder what happens in corporations when they seem to forget their own past and come out with new stuff that is a step or two backwards compared to their older, lower end stuff. Oh well.
Thank you very much for the tip about having more than one instance of keywords in the filter bar. That helps.
After I posted I discovered using Smart Collections and that helps a bit too. It is sort of a cutdown, less user friendly version of the Find By Details (Metadata) function in Organizer. It also means that for just a one time search I would have to create a smart collection and then delete it. What's with that, I wonder? Of course, if you often want to do that same search then it is good (Organizer allows you to save the search too), but most of the time I just do it one time. Oh well.
I looked at the Any Tag plugin and also the Any Filter plugin (same website) and I might download them to try out.
What I would like for Adobe to do is have their LR developers (probably a more prestigious development team in the company) talk to their Organizer developers (maybe a less prestigious development team) so that the LR developers can learn a bit about this. Yes, I have been a software developer for many years so I do understand a bit about development organizations. LR and PS are standard bearing products so their teams probably are held in higher esteem. Time to be humble and talk to other people though, IMO.
If any LR developers happen to read this then please know that I mean no offense. But, please, at least, take a look at Organizer and see if you can come up with something simpler that requires less typing of multiple long keywords and more powerful searching using various types of metadata. I am not saying Organizer is the best out there, but it is much better than LR in this case.

Couldnt work with multiple key fields in keyword search

Hi,
I have some issue while working keyword search uder free form search in datamanager. in my repository i have two keyfields name(default field) and nation(lookup flat). but while working with keyword search if i pass any value that is comparing with only the values under keyfield name not comparing with other keyfield nation values. i am working with MDM 5.5 sp6. It would be appreciable if any one solve this issue.
Regards
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
If you want to perform Keyword search for Nation field as well without changing it's field type; then plz follow these steps:
1. Set the Keyword property for Nation Field as Normal in Main table.
2. Now go to the lookup table to which Nation field is looking into (say the Lookup table name is Nations).
3. Now set the Keyword property for Nation field as Normal in the lookup table (Nations table) as well.
4. Go back to Main table and now perform Keyword search. This time it will perform the search on both the fields (i.e., Name as well as Nation).
Please let us know, if problem still persists.

Varun

Oracle iRecruitment: Keyword Search within Resumes using Oracle Text

Dear All,
As per my understanding (and Note: 247064.1) simple Keyword searches can be performed in iRecruitment if oracle Text is installed. However searching for Keywords within resumes is not possible using Oracle Text and is possible ONLY if Resume Parsing is enabled via a third party (non-oracle) service provider.
Can you please let me know if my understanding is correct and if not provide further inputs on this.
Thanks,
Subrat

Got this confirmation from Oracle via SR:
Resume searching is independent of resume parsing and not required to search resumes.
Oracle Text is the text engine that allows you to search documents using content-based queries. Oracle Text allows you to upload documents, search documents, parse resumes, etc.
Hence to conclude - Installation of Oracle Text will allow Keyword Searches on resumes.
Thanks,
Subrat
