Keyword Search Question

Newbie Alert:
I've searched the forum and can't find a solution to a problem I've encountered. I just moved from Bridge to LR3 for managing my images. In Bridge I developed the bad habit of explicitly adding keywords to my images all the way to the parent (a setting in bridge). For example, the keyword hierarchy for one of my images in Bridge might look like.
Colorado [x]
        Denver [x]
                DMNS [x]
Now that I am using LR3, I don't want Denver or Colorado explicitly selected when I choose "DMNS". instead I would like:
Colorado [-]
        Denver [-]
                DMNS [x]
Where Denver and Colorado are implicitly selected. When I do a search for "Colorado" LR seems to return all images that are either implicitly or explicitly tagged with that keyword. I need to select only the images where "Colorado" is explicitly selected.
How can I do a search to only find the images explicitly tagged "Colorado"? This seems also related to another "newbie" question I have. Bridge allowed for doing queries based on multiple keywords using a basic set of conditionals. In LR3, "Find" doesn't appear to provide that functionality. How can I do find an image where more than one keyword exists but they are not within the same containing keyword? Or, using this example, find all images that have the keyword "Colorado" but do not include "DMNS"?
Thank you.

I pretty much consolidated all my keywords once, then never again. It was a PITA even with help from KeywordConsolidator.
Now I enter keywords in Lightroom, then invoke Keyword Consolidator's keyword form to enter title & caption and double-check/correct keyword entry mistakes on the spot (or add a keyword I had forgotten...), since it displays the whole keyword path in a linear list, its easier to see stuff...
I hope Adobe considers some keyword entry enhancements:
- prompt before creating new keywords.
- display in list form with paths (hard to see what you've really got in paragraph form without paths).
- plural / singular / synonym detection and handling.
- and of course: proper handling of spaces and fix 'Contains Words' bug.
PS - John Ellis has a particularly robust keyword entry alternative if you've interest.
Have fun,
Rob

Keyword search questions

Hi:
I am working on a problem that requires that I find a keyword within a text file. I have tokenized the input and I can easily locate the keyword as an exact token match but if the keyword appears within a token then it is missed.
example:
keyword = mary
File contains "mary had a little lamb". Keyword is found.
File contains "littlemary had a lamb". Keyword is not found.
Can someone please help me solve the problem?
Thanks.

You might also look at using the Regular Expressions (regex) tools. This allows you to look for a pattern within an entire String and could end up being faster than reading in the entire line, breaking it into smaller bits, iterating through the entire set of bits, comparing for the presence of a String....

Quick question on KEYWORD Search

Hello,
Any idea how does a Keyword Search works ..Could not find any good documentation .
I have an issue with customer where they are doing a key word search on 3 words and not pulling the data since all the 3 words are not matched.If we try to do a search with 2 matching words it pulls up the data.
Its in iRecruitment Vacancy search feature which uses Oracle text.

From Technet:
Role-based administration does not support an explicit deny action on security roles, security scopes, or collections assigned to an administrative
user. Instead, configure security roles, security scopes, and collections to grant permissions to administrative users. If users do not have permissions to objects by use of these role-based administration elements, they might have only partial access to some
objects, for example they might be able to view, but not modify specific objects. However, you can use collection membership to exclude collections from a collection that is assigned to an administrative user.

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.

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...

Keyword search not working properly in Mail since iCloud upgrade

Since I upgraded to iCloud from MobileMe and Lion from Snow Leopard, the new Mail (Version 5.2 (1278)) does not execute keyword searches properly. With the previous version I could start entering a keyword and all potential matches based on my criteria (email contents, from, to, subject etc.) would populate the window with all possible matches from whichever folders I specified or all folders. That is not happening now. I have entered numerous keywords in the search box for matches I know exist, but they are not being found.
Anyone also seeing this issue? I am using Mail to access an IMAP email account for my business. Again, this was not a problem before the migration to iCloud and the forced Mail version upgrade.

Thank you. I can't find "startup volume" in the side bar. Is that my SSD (or hard disc) main boot drive you're taliking about? I hope this will work...
If it doesn't work, you might try posting a new discussion to see if others might have some thoughts on it.
Well, there's another post (here):
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1293956
from the looks of it, I'm in serious trouble as this is now becomming a common issue and one that has no resolve. This really messes everything up as I need (as well as a lot of others out there) to use the search on a daily basis for me to check on past emails. I rely on that to work. This is terrible... There is really no other way to search for anything now. What was Apple thinking?...
Again, I look forward to your reply to my (above) question...

Any Program to sort by keywords faster than CS-PS6-Bridge For Keyword Search?

To sort by keywords in (CS-PS6)-Bridge one has to group all your folders under one overall folder. Then when you search by keywords (CS-PS6)-Bridge opens up all the photos in Bridge which take avery long time. Since Lightroom Smart Previews open up smaller files will it open up all ones pictures faster? and then can it sort by keywords.
I am assuming Lightroom smart preview opens up a larger size file than CS6-PS-6-Bridge and thus is even slower.
So the question becomes are there Any Program to sort by keywords faster than CS-6-Bridge For Keyword Search? i.e A program that doesn't have to open up a file to look at keywords or a way to open smaller thumbnails in Bridge?

Ineffective Keyword Search (keyword.URL) changes in 23+

Refering to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/963439, closing this thread is not sufficient for us users. Please let us vote about this change, or most people (like me) will downgrade or use addons that will disable this "security" feature.
Please make a better solution, or chrome or another browser will do.

The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.
* Keyword Search: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/keyword-search/
Another possibility is to disable keyword search (keyword.enable = false) and use a (one letter) keyword search for searching via the location bar.<br />
You can add a keyword to an installed search engine via Manage Search Engines (click the search engines icon on the search bar) and you can add a keyword to a bookmark in the Bookmarks Manager (Show All Bookmarks).
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_keyword_searches
That will allow to switch easily between search engines when you search via the location bar and there also is no problem with a one word search.

Keyword search in multiple folders

May be a stupid question.....
We want to have all of our photos stored on one server and then access them remotely and be able to do a keyword search to locate them later.
We did a test with several folders but when we do a keyword search we have to be in the subfolder for Bridge to recognize the keyword.
Example:
Main Folder - Photos
Sub Folder - Dan
Sub Folder - Sara
We put Dan as a keyword on all his photos and Sara on all of hers
Then on the main folder do a keyword search for Dan and nothing comes up. Go into his subfolder and it works.
We could just have one big folder with all of images loose in there, but that's not the best solution with multiple people putting images in there
What am I doing wrong.
Thanks for any insight.

You should use the find command (cmd F) for this. Select keyword as criteria and be sure to check the option 'include subfolders'.
You need to cache the folders first tlo get the most out of the speed for finding and the folders should all be in one main folder like pictures or so.
Also be aware that Bridge on a server is not always a success and keep in mind that you are in fact looking for a Digital Asset Management system and DAM is not the best feature Bridge has to offer

Keyword search within Xcelsius

Hi,
Iu2019m working on an Xcelsius dashboard project where it requires a keyword search functionality of customer feedback data stored in a SQL database and display the matching records in a table. Also to visually show the number of keywords by different sources using a chart.
Appreciate if anyone could give some pointers how this can be achieved through Xcelsius
Thanks,
Malik

Hi Malik,
Hope you must be looking to retrieve the data based on the Keyword entered in the Xcelsius.
If you are using the Web intelligence to fetch the data better you use wild card concept in your filters.
Hope it can full fill your need.
If this is not the solution for your question, please make your question more elaborate.

Keyword search over XML documents

there are many open source native XML databases,and search engines that support XQuery and XPath and many of them also support full text search.
such as:
1- TPOX
2- Timber
3- DBXML
4 - http://exist.sourceforge.net/kwic.html [http://exist.sourceforge.net/kwic.html]
5- http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/ [http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/]
6- http://xqengine.sourceforge.net/ [http://xqengine.sourceforge.net/]
7- Lucene
But, could you please tell me what is the alternative open source systems for the following closed systems (XRANK is a Ranked keyword search over XML documents on http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~cbotev/XRank.pdf ) and (XSeek is A Semantic XML Search Engine Using Keywords on http://xseek.asu.edu/xseekdemo.pdf )
I posted the question on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2921379/is-there-any-open-source-system-for-keyword-search-on-xml-documents and I have got good information , but I think some people on this forum may have more information.
thanks.

Well, there is a workaround to search in the xml. Open xml in FF, open the page source (Ctrl + U) and search in it.

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?

Stefan

I am looking into Lightroom (Creative Cloud) to allow a Team Member access my Catalog to keyword search which images will work for our Social Media platforms.

I am looking at LR Creative Cloud to allow a Team Member access my catalog so she can keyword search which images will work for our social media campaigns. My catalog has both personal and business images (which are in separate folders), however, I only want them to access the business images. What is the best way to do this?
and a second question as I am new to the Cloud LR product. I am assuming that my images still stay on my external drive...how am I or her able to view these images if I am out of town on another computer?

My catalog has both personal and business images (which are in separate folders), however, I only want them to access the business images. What is the best way to do this?
I think the only way in Lightroom to make this happen is to use two catalogs, one for business and one for personal, and then prevent access to the personal catalog via putting it on a disk or location that your team member does not have access to.
I am assuming that my images still stay on my external drive...how am I or her able to view these images if I am out of town on another computer?
Situations like this require you to put the catalog file AND photos on the external HD and then move the external drive to whatever location and whatever computer is needed. An alternative is to put the photos on a network drive and the catalog file on a local disk and access the catalog locally and the photos via network, but that limits you to using a single computer.
I am looking at LR Creative Cloud to allow a Team Member access my catalog so she can keyword search which images will work for our social media campaigns.
As far as I know, this does not require Creative Cloud, nor does Creative Cloud help in this situation. Furthermore, if you are thinking about a situation where you and your team member have simultaneous access to the catalog(s) of interest, this is not possible in Lightroom. Lightroom is a single user application.
If you are interested in a true multi-use application, where more than one individual can access a catalog at the same time, you might want to look at Daminion. Note: I am not endorsing or recommending Daminion, as I have never used it; I simply point out the that it has the feature being discussed.

Endeca:Multiple keyword search

I have integrated atg application with endeca and i implemented multiple keyword search.Now i am getting combined results.For eg:if i search for ice and shampoo i am getting combined results for both.I want to separate the results based on the search term in the front end?Please help.I am using atg10.1.2
Thanks in advance

Hi KannanMN,
We will be getting the meta data related to the record in the results list saying why that particular record matched and retrieved. Using this information, you can populate or separate the results to go into two different div containers in the front end.
Hope this helps.
Keep posting the updates or questions.

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.
