PSE8 Oraganizer, multiple tag search AND OR

I'm trying to figure out what logic multiple tag searches is using. Just when I think I have it figured out I find something different.
For instance the People and Places categories behave differently. Selecting multiple tags within the same People category behaves like a Boolean AND. Multiple tags in the Places category act as an OR. Selecting a subcategory in the People category will select all the keywords in the sub-category and perform an OR. Selecting a sub-category as an Exclude will only exclude the sub-category as a keyword. It does nothing with the keywords in the sub-category.
I haven't finished testing all the other possiblities with the other categories, like; Events, Other, Animals.
I guess my question is; Where is the Adobe full description on how this works?
My request would be to have the ability to construct a more advanced Boolean expression. Perhaps in a manual mode by typing in a Boolean string.
Thanks, -phil

Thanks for the reply John,
I doubled checked multiple tags selected in either the People category or the Places category and it is doing an AND in People and an OR in Places.
Here's my test:
People category with 2 keywords; Phil, Kristi.
Phil selected, returns 223 items with Phil in them
Kristi selected returns 510 items with Kristi in them
Phil and Kristi selected returns 109 items with Phil AND Kristi tags applied to them.
Places category with 2 keywords Aruba, Bad Axe
Aruba selected, returns 50 items, looks like all my Aruba shots
Bad Axe selected, returns 26 items, looks all my Bad Axe shots
Aruba and Bad Axe selected, returns 76 items, looks like all my images with Aruba OR Bad Axe shots.
These catagories came defined with PSE8. Must be something built in??. I quickly looked at my other Categories and they all appear to be doing OR logic with mukltiple keywords. Looks like it's just the People category that behaves as an AND.
In Preferences the, "Show Closely Matching Sets for Searches" is unchecked. When I check this it does change the behavior. For my people test it now returns 624 with Phil and Kristi selected. The Aruba, Bad Axe selection returned the same number.
While testing this and writing it down a thought came to me. With my People tags there are images that are tagged with multiple People tags. Like pictures of Kristi and Phil together have both tags. However, my Places tags never have more than one tag applied. I looked in my Pets category and it is behaving like my People category because it will have multiple pet keywords in some photos.
So, in conclusion, the program is looking at how you've used the keywords. If there are images in the catalog that have multiple keywords from a particular Category tagged to them it will act as an AND search when you select multiple tags from that Category. On the other hand, if there are no images with the multiple tags applied to them then the search behaves as an OR when you select those tags. So it just depends.
One more example. When I select Phil and Kristi and Aruba, I get back the 6 shots that have those tags. When I select Phil and Kristi and Bad Axe I get back 650 shots. I would rather get back 0 because there are no shots that have all 3 of those tags. The preference is unchecked for the closely match option.

Multiple file search and replace

Does anyone know if it is possible to do search / replaces in script, text etc over multiple files? If not, is there any 3rd party software available to do it?
I have hundreds of files I have to make the same change in and just wanted to find out before I have to do the mind-numbing process of going through them all.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Depending upon what type of files and what kind of changes you need to make, sure you can. You can do a google search for 'binary search and replace'; here's one of the first results, which searches for and replaces strings in multiple text and/or binary files:

HT2194 Address Book searches and tags or keywords

Is there a way to use keyword or tags for searches in Apple's Address Book? Putting contacts into Groups isn't always the most efficient way of find people or narrowing down people withing a group. Does anyone have any ideas? Will Apple ever implement tags in Address Book?

I mostly use groups for both those purposes. I also use the company field as a sort of tag, since very few of my contacts are companies rather than individual. So I have contacts with builder or plumber or electrician in the company field - but this won't work for you if you need that field for company names. The other field you can use is the notes field; you could put several tags in, and you wouldn't need any special separator as search will find them.
The advantage of groups, for me, is that you only have to type the tag or category once and you can so quickly isolate all those in the group. A contact can of course be in multiple groups; indeed a group can be in a group.

When will Adobe update DIGITAL EDITIONS - to search and tag, and to back-up structure?

When will Adobe update DIGITAL EDITIONS to include the ability to 'find your books' by searching and tagging?
Also, how does one 'back-up' the organization structure? I have hundreds of books that i've organized by "Bookshelves" and i KNOW this will someday become corrrupted, somehow, and i will need to spend countless hours trying to put multiple books in multiple categories again.
[i've backed-up (besides the books themselves) "Annotations", "Mainfiest", "Tags" and "Thumbnails" but there doesn't seem to be a complementary file/folder for DIgital Editions in USER/AppData]
many thanks

TM is not designed to do what you ask. As Allan wrote TM is an incremental backup not an archival solution.
If you delete a file from the HD it will eventually be removed from the TM backup (if it ever makes it on to the backup at all).
How long before it is removed depends on a number of factors, TM disk drive size being one factor but not the only one.
Material that is impossible to replace and is important to you (image files usually fitting that description) need to be backed up to as least one other drive and preferably more for long term storage.

Using Tags, Can i Search for Multiple Tags in One Search Folder?

Hi forum,
i would like to set a Search Folder and search using Tags. I would liek to use one such folder and search for everythign i haver tagged last week. How cna i search for 'TAG A' and 'TAG B' in one Search Folder?

All you need to do is to briefly type in your tag in the search bar and in the drop down menu, you should be able to select a tag, press enter and just repeat this process for as many tags as you like
Hope I helped!

Content Search and 'Items Matching a Tag' Web Part Not Displaying Results Shown in Preview

Hi
I've been trying to set up both the Content Search and Items Matching a Tag Web Parts with the same issue. In both cases I can create a query which displays the expected results in the Search Result Preview pane but no results are returned when browsing
the page.
I'm a Site Collection administrator
tried viewing the page in IE8, Chrome and Firefox
another user account with Full Control permissions on the site results in the same issue
I've reindexed the site (which has completed as other alterations on the content are now being returned in the normal search results)
I've tried removing and re-adding the offending web parts
The queries in both web parts are pushed back to the most simple possible - ie all documents in the current site collection for the Content Search query and 'Current site collection + Don't restrict by any tag' in the Items Matching a Tag
I haven't touched the display templates or made any other alterations AT ALL - this is a virgin site collection beyond documents in a library
Does anyone have any ideas?

I was able to make this do what I needed it to.

How to Search and Array for multiple occurrences of a value

Hi,
I am trying to search an array of doubles for a number and report the index location(s) of a number. I.e. -allow for repetition. Search and report all index[i] where the number is contained in the array. For example I have
double[] myInputArray = new double[5];
double[] myInputArray = { 1, 2, 3, 3, 5 }I know how to search through the array ONCE and return the first occurrence of a number:
public double GetIndexOf(double Number) {
    for (int i=0; i<myInputArray.length; i++) {
         if (myInputArray[i] == Number){
              return(i);
    return(-1);
}How do I expand this code to report multiple index[i] locations if the number reoccurs in the array like the number 3 does in my example array above?

The way the Java libraries do this type of operation (String.indexOf(), etc) is to specify the starting index along with what you want to find.
Changing your example slightly (notice how I fixed your naming and more importantly, your return type):
public int indexOf(double num) {
   return indexOf(num, 0);
public int indexOf(double num, int fromIndex) {
    for (int i=fromIndex; i<myInputArray.length; i++) {
         if (myInputArray[i] == num){
              return(i);
    return(-1);
//usage to get all indices:
for ( int index = -1; (index = indexOf(num, index+1)) != -1; ) {
   System.out.println(index);
}Note that due to how floating point numbers work, you may find doing this on doubles (or any other operation that uses == with double arguments) to give you unexpected results.

For lSource = 1 To lLast
'Put the conditions below:

PSE8 Organizer - Odd Key Word tag search result

Question by tagging example in Elements 8 Organizer.
I have 2 friends Bill and Sandra (key word tags) they belong to same subgroup "Friends".
Now, when I in PSE8 Organizer seach for Sandra e.g. by check the "Sandra" check box. Then a lot more pictures than only Sandra appear the results set. For me this make no sense at all. BUT on the other hand, if I create a subcategory "Sandra" and tag the same pictuters with that, then I have no problem. Only Sandra (as subcategory) tagged pictures will shows in the results set.
Many thanks for any clue or help.

Hi,
Here are 2 screenshots showing the 2 scanarioos. Note. when Reacreated the issue made me understand the PSE query little better. But it still make no sense for me. Because I have never seen or heard of any query tool where clause inheríts upwards in a hirarchy.
In other words. A query maikng sence for me look somethin like this:
- » SELECT all pictitures in 'abc' WHERE tag = "X" (with or without hirarchy daughter tags to "X")
As I interpret the PSE8 query result. The PSE8 query look something like this
- » SELECT all pictitures in 'abc' WHERE tag = "X" AND include also all tag "X" sister tags AND also include an unpredictable set of tag "X" mother tags Her doughter tags.
For me this is a very strange logic of behavoir for an application and/or query tool.

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.

Importing text file into search and redact window.

I am in the search window under the search and redact tool. I
am trying to import a file that was originally an excel to populate the
search multiple words window. I read that text files can be imported. I saved the file as a text file but it does not import. I can import an adobe file but this gives me a list with a bunch of junk. What am I missing?

The dialog imports text files.
Make sure that the file you are importing is a text file and has one word in every line.

Adding Multiple Tag Prefixes in an XML in XI

I have a problem on one of the messages we are trying to send to trading partners. The customers' system only accepts the message if it has a tag prefix of sh, orders... and so on in the particular message we are sending (Standard Business Document). The problem is that XI does not use the tag prefixes the trading partners are expecting. Another problem is that we do not have the orginal and current XSD of the Standard Business Document so we created the message in XI and it cannot adapt the multiple namespaces scheme that we are suppose to send.
The messages are sent via HTTP adapter so what we plan is after mapping the data to the output XML, we are going to send it or store it in a directory which a configure File Adapter polls and use the Java Anonymizer Bean to do the trick of adding the tag prefixes and then use Enhanced Receiver Determination to actually send the data via HTTPS (since the receiving system's information is stored in a database which we query in XI using a UDF).
Are there any other approach that we could explore than the one I mentioned above? And could XI actually handle multiple namespaces of an XML?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Rommel

Hi Prateek,
Thanks for the reply. Just another question though, would XI recognize the multiple namespaces and the tag prefixes associated with it during the mapping?
Thanks again!

Rommel

Best approach to add Z custom field to IC Agent Inbox search and results view

Hi Experts,
We are having a requirement to add a Z custom field to IC Agent Inbox search and results view. I got multiple forums and ideas, but looking for the best approach for handling this. I am sure, you experts, would have already done this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Siva

Hi Sivakumar,
AET is the best way by far to create a custom field in this area. It is easy and simple.
Also, field once added in one business object it can be used at different objects as well.
There is also a demo available for AET on sdn.
Please let me know if any more help is required.
Thanks,

How to pass tag name and value dynamically in the output of PCo notification?

Hi,
I have a requirement to develop such a scenario where there can be multiple no of tags in PCo (Say 10) but there will be single notification to push the tag name when the value got changed and the changed value to MII. for any value change for any of the tag, the notification will be trigger. So As per my knowledge I have to pass the tag name and value dynamically in the "output" tab of the notification. But need your support to find out how to pass them dynamically.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Suman

Hi Suman/Jeedesh,
As per Pco notification, it will trigger whenever any of the tag value changes in Agent instance subscription items.
For above issue, My suggestion
1. Create DB table name TAGLIST with 200 tags as rows in columns (Tagname, TagValue)
2. Based on notification trigger, create a transaction and update values w.r.t TagNames in above table
3. Next time, when notification trigger with fresh value for any of the tag, cross check with existing TagName with Value and update in DB table.
4. And in the mean time, send those Tag details vie mail trigger or as per requirement
Instead of creating 200 notification, above is a just alternate way suggestion to achieve dynamic tag value change notification.
Hope it might solve your problem
Regards,
Praveen Reddy
