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.

Does endeca support multiple keyword search

Am new to endeca.
Does endeca support multiple keyword search in atg crs.
an eg can we search for "shirt,shoes" and get results for both

How specifically to implement this depends on how you are querying Endeca. With a simple URL parameter query using the UrlENEQuery object you would set the parameter of Ntx=mode+matchany, and if you were using the ENEQuery class you would set it like:
ENEQuery query = new ENEQuery();
ERecSearchList searchList = new ERecSearchList();
String matchMode = searchTerms.contains(",") ? "mode+matchany" : "mode+matchallpartial";
ERecSearch search = new ERecSearch( "your-search-interface", searchTerms, matchMode );
searchList.add( search );
query.setNavERecSearches( searchList );
If you are using the Assembler Service, you can include the Ntx parameter in the call, so you would wrap your call with some conditional logic, e.g.:
String serviceCall = null;
if( searchTerms.contains(",") ) {
serviceCall = "assember/xml/browse?Ntt=shirt,shoes&Ntx=mode+matchany";
} else {
serviceCall = "assember/xml/browse?Ntt=shirt,shoes&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial";
If you are using the Content Assembler API within your application, it will depend on how you are invoking it but some of the above should help you customise appropriately.

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.
Thanks,

Dreamweaver 8, PHP, multiple keyword search problem

Hello, I've successfully set up a search form, and a
recordset which retrieves results when a keyword is added to the
search form text field and the form is submitted. What I'm trying
to do is allow tourists to enter one or more keywords, such as
Istanbul Ankara, to get tours which include either or both of these
keywords. The search function works fine if I just put in one
keyword, like "Istanbul" or "istanbul." But if I enter two
keywords, there are no results, even though there are several tours
with both of these destinations in their itinerary. If I enter
istanbul AND ankara, I get results with the boolean method, but I
don't expect most of my site visitors to know how to do that.
Is there a way to modify the recordset, so that the user gets
results when they search with multiple keywords? Here's my SQL
code:

Add a FULLTEXT index to the column that you want to search,
then change
the SQL like this:
WHERE MATCH (tours.long_itinerary) AGAINST ('keywords') AND
tour_category.cat_id=tours.category_id AND
tours.agency_id=travel_agency.agency_id

Multiple keyword search

Hi all.
Can anyone help me with the following? I have a search field where a user can enter more than one keyword. The keyword then is matched to one of 20 fields in the database. This works fine as long as only one keyword is entered, however I am having a problem separating the keywords so that the for each word entered the 20 fields are searched, ie if 2 keywords are entered the 20 fields will be searched twice.
Any ideas? The following code snippet is working fine for one keyword.
Thanks in advance
El
if (!MyStrEquals(Report, "")) sWhere += " AND (Report1 like '%" + Report + "%'";
if (!MyStrEquals(Report, "")) sWhere += " or Report2 like '%" + Report + "%'";
if (!MyStrEquals(Report, "")) sWhere += " or Report3 like '%" + Report + "%'";
if (!MyStrEquals(Report, "")) sWhere += " or Report4 like '%" + Report + "%'";
etc

Thanks for this. I had started with a string tokeniser but seem to be missing something. I get an error
Incompatible type for >. Can't convert boolean to int.
and
Can't convert java.util.StringTokenizer to java.lang.String.
where am I going wrong?
StringTokenizer Report = new StringTokenizer(Reports, " ");
while (Report.hasMoreTokens() > 0) {
Report.nextToken();
if (!MyStrEquals(Report, "")) sWhere += " AND (Report1 like '%" + Report + "%'";
if (!MyStrEquals(Report, "")) sWhere += " or Report2 like '%" + Report + "%'";

How to use Multiple Keywords in a Search Form?

I'm currently using a bind variable on the view object to generate a search form where the user enters one keyword that is applied to the WHERE cause of the SQL query.
The problem is I'm trying to implement a Google-type search, where the user can enter multiple keywords in a single text input area. I then want to parse out those keywords and search the database on each keyword (similar to a Google search.) Can someone please help me point me in the right direction as to where / how to code in the appropriate hooks to accomplish this?
Example:
(user input) Enter Search Keywords: keyword1 keyword2 keyword3.. keywordn
database query:
Select item from table where (desc like '%keyword1%') or .. (desc like '%keywordn%') or
(category like '%keyword1%') or .. (category like '%keywordn%')

Can't you parse what was entered and create a number of view criteria rows, then apply them? At that point, they would be 'OR'd together'.

Search for photos with multiple keywords

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to search for photos that have multiple keywords. When selecting multiple keywords in a Bridge search the default behavior is to find photos that have any of the keywords rather than all of the keyword. In other words I want to do an AND keyboard rather than an OR search.

You should be able to do so in the find menu of Bridge (Edit/Find or cmd+F)
With the plus sign you can add an extra (and) keyword to it.
A shortcut may be to first find one keyword and then use the filter panel
keyword section and select the other wished keywords by putting a checkmark
in front, only the selected files will show in the content window.
In other words I want to do an AND keyboard rather than an OR 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 across multiple folders

Is it possible to do keyword searches across multiple folders and drives in Bridge CS3? On disk I have organised my images by geographical location, but want to keyword them and search for them by theme. This will cut across several drives each with numerous folders and sub-folders. All the drives, folders and sub-folders are on the same pc, which is a stand alone machine and not networked.

With Bridge it will search multiple folders on the same drive, but don't think you can search across multiple drives (I read you can with Lightroom).
The search goes down the directory tree starting where you tell it. So therefore, start high enough to include all folders you want to look in.
If you have Vista you could search across multiple drives if they are indexed. Advanced search allows multiple keywords (tags), and it is very fast, much faster than Bridge.

Quick searching by multiple keywords

Hi,
Just a quick question. I don't seem to be able to search for multiple keywords through the quicksearch input (on the top right of the browser window). If I put in one keyword it works like a charm, but if I enter two (with either spaces or commas between) no results will show up.
If I use the search HUD I can select multiple keywords or even add multiple text filters and type the keywords into them and it works.
Is it only possible to search for one keyword through a quicksearch, or is there something I'm missing?
Thanks!

I haven't seen this anywhere else, and I just
discovered it yesterday: If you type in several
keywords separated by commas, it will search all the
images in the folder/album/project that have all the
specified keywords. No need to bring up the search
HUD and click on individual keywords. It's been a big
time saver for me when trying to narrow down a search.
That's a nice little trick! Thanks for sharing.

Searching images having multiple keywords

When searching for images having multiple keywords, how do i search for one keyword and exclude others. For example an image has keywords "adults, pub" "how do I ask for "adults but not adults in a pub?

Searching for multiple keywords

Is there a way to fine tune a search---e.g. find all the photos with a certain keyword and then select out the ones I have marked with a check mark? When I try this I get all the photos that I ever marked with a check mark, not just the ones with the keyword or search term I've already searched on. I don't see an "advanced search" option with multiple search term options.

Cynthia:
Bring up the Keyword search pane and click on the checkmark button and then on the other keyword button. Only the photos with those two keywords will be displayed. The search box will show: √ and second keyword.
If you use the Option key while selecting a keyword it will omit all photos from the search with that keyword. The search box will display √ and not second keyword.
Happy New Year
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

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.

Can I do a Boolean keyword search looking for more than one keyword on a webpage? (e.g. "Nonfinancial" OR "Satisfaction")

I know I can use Ctrl+F to look up single instances of a keyword, but I would like to be able to find all instances of 15 or 20 keywords all at once. Is there a way to construct a logic statement to find multiple keywords at the same time? Also, I'm not interested in bookmarking pages, etc. I need to pull up webpages in the browser and search within that webpage for all 20ish words.
thank you for your time,
r

Hi, this should sort out your problem:
1. Type in "about:config" into the address bar, this will open the settings menu. Click on "I'll be careful, I promise!"
2. Search for "keyword.URL" in the filter bar.
3. Enter "http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=" into the value field.
I'm no expert, but I had the same problem which got on my nerves after being so used to being able to type anything in, and following these steps fixed it.

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...
