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 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.

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.

Search on multiple keywords

Hello,
I have a textfield in HTML page and I am asking the user to search based on keywords. I need code snippet that can search my table based on different keywords on different fields (title and descr).
I am using SQL Server.
e.g the user might search as "java swing book" and the search should be dynamic as we dont know the number of keywords.
table structure
slno int,
fname varchar(20),
title varchar(30)
descr text

maesj,
Thanks for reply. This is what I am doing.
String str = request.getParameter("keywords");
// e.g str = "java jsp library book";
Search in both title and descr fields of table.
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str, "");
for(int i=0; i<st.countTokens(); i++)
rs = st.executeQuery("select * from temp where title like %st.nextToken()% or descr like %st.nextToken()%
Please correct the above.

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.

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

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.

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?

Use a smart collection:

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.

Set arch forums or wiki in opera's keyword quick search?

Hey just wondering if this is at all possible. I don't really know much about html or search engine protocols, but I think it would be really cool if someone knew how to set up custom searches in opera's keyword searches. This is what I am thinking of if anyone knows how:
type f ---> searches bbs.archlinux.org forum search
type w ---> searches wiki.archlinux.org wiki search
It would be awesome if anyone knows how to do this since I do so many forum searches it would be nice to just pop opera open and quickly search.

In Konqueror, this works as the search function:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/search.php?action=search&keywords=\{@}&author=&forum=-1&search_in=all&sort_by=0&sort_dir=DESC&show_as=topics&search=Submit
Where \{@} is the search word. So in the 'Web Shortcuts' menu I have a shortcut named 'arch' under the title 'Arch Linux'. If I go to the address bar and type:
arch: test
It will search for 'test' with all the default search settings. It seems like this should be pretty easy to translate to Opera.

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,

Office 365 quick search has lost the "From:" "Subject:" "Keyword:" dropbox.

I use my quick search a little too much, but for some reason in the last few days the drop box on my quick search has gone.
It is the one that allows you to quickly refine your search for "From:" or "Subject:" and "Keyword:". I can add the criteria to my search manually but curious if anyone else has seen this.
I am using windows 8.1 and it is an exchange mailbox.

Hi,
Basis on your description, do you means search folder with From and Subject parameter? Figure as below:
I want to double confirm whether all Outlook client or some special user experience this question.
Please try to open search tab--->select properties what you need in More Properties, figure as below:
