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:
See how you go!

Is it possible to filter images using multiple keywords at once in Bridge CC?

Say I want to find only images that contain both the keywords 'female' and 'hat' but not see ones that only contain one of the words, is that possible?

It's a shame that this in not possible.
To me keywords are useless if this is not possible.
The only way you can do that is using the search function and that is a really bad workflow - too slow and not flexible at all.
This is a really needed function.
Does someone know a programm that can do that?

Search function with multiple keywords

hi everybody,
im a beginner apex developer, im trying to develope a search function on my page.
i have created an item "where" where u can give the adress u r looking for.
my problem is that the search works only when i insert one word into the item e.g. street or city.
when i try to look for street and city at the same time it doesnt work.
in my database i have columns for city, street, zipcode... etc
and im using Application Express 3.1.2.00.02
this is my search code
select country, city,zipcode, street
from mytable
where
+( lower(city) like '%' || lower(trim(:P1_WHERE)) || '%'+
OR lower(zipcode) like '%' || lower(trim(:P1_WHERE)) || '%'
OR lower(street) like '%' || lower(trim(:P1_WHERE)) || '%'
OR lower(country) like '%' || lower(trim(:P1_WHERE)) || '%')
i have tried to solve the problem by adding combination after OR:
lower(concat(trim(city) like '%' || lower(replace(:P1_WHERE,' ','')) || '%'||,trim(zipcode) like '%' || lower(replace(:P1_WHERE,' ','')) || '%'||))
but this is not working. and i will have too many combinations.
any help is highly appreciated!

Oracle don't provide any SPLIT() function, I don't know why.
But you can use INSTR() and SUBSTR() functions instead.
There are some split functions on the web, like this one for example (don't really split but get tokens) : http://glosoli.blogspot.com/2006/07/oracle-plsql-function-to-split-strings.html.
Then you can loop to get all the tokens (here I used the ' ' separator) :
DECLARE
      oneToken VARCHAR2(100) ;
      cpt INTEGER := 1;
BEGIN
      LOOP
      oneToken := get_token(html_GetElement(P1_WHERE).value, cpt , ' ') ;
      EXIT WHEN oneToken IS NULL ;
      cpt := cpt + 1 ;
    END LOOP ;
END ;Using this you can build your query as string, then open a cursor to run it, using :
open my_cursor for my_string;I really don't know if it's the best way to do this, it's just an idea.

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.

Selecting Multiple Keywords for an "AND" Images Selection

When selecting images in iPhoto, one feature that I liked was the ability to fine-tune my image selection by choosing multiple Keywords. For example, I might have 50 images of Mary, either by herself or with other people, and one of the Keywords assigned to those 50 images is "Mary." I might also have 25 images of Joe, also either by himself or with other people, with one of the Keywords assigned of "Joe."
Out of all my images, there might be 5 images that include both Mary and Joe together. In iPhoto, I could rapidly find those 5 images of Mary and Joe together by clicking and selecting the separate Keywords "Mary" and "Joe" from the list of all my iPhoto Keywords.
Unless I'm missing something, the only way I have found to do this in Lightroom 1.0 is by typing both Mary and Joe in the FIND dialog box to find JUST the images of Mary and Joe together.
It is my understanding that LR currently has an "OR" find command when I "COMMAND-click" (Mac) on the Mary and Joe keywords, LR displays ALL the images of Mary and Joe. I would like to see a feature in future versions of LR where I could "OPTION-click" on the Keywords that I had set up in LR that would then initiate an "AND" Find command for the Keywords selected so that LR displays images where Mary AND Joe appear together in the images.

I did go to the LR Extras FAQ. However, I didn't find the specific references that you mention. I did notice a couple of topics that cover "intersections," but I don't think that addresses my specific request.
For example, If I'm searching through ALL of my images and I want to DISPLAY only the images of that I've taken of rivers in California, I would like to be able to do it in LR in ONE keystroke(OPTION) and TWO mouse clicks (in iPhoto, you can do it in two mouse clicks).
Currently, in LR 1.0, if I use the FIND panel, I would have to type in several keystrokes. If I don't have any COLLECTIONS for rivers or California, but do have KEYWORDS of "rivers" and "California," is there anyway I can select from the Keywords to have JUST the rivers in California displayed? To just have them highlighted only would force me to scroll through hundreds of pictures taken in California, when I might only have twenty photos of California rivers.
I appreciate your offer of help and please point me in the right direction if I am missing something. I do plan to re-visit the site again as I can see that it contains a lot of good insightful info about LR. Thanks.

Ctl-Clicking Keywords to add multiple keywords to images

Ok. Maybe I'm just overlooking something here, but:
I would like to be able to select multiple keywords and drag them onto an image to apply them all at once.
Problem is, when I select the first keyword, it automatically sorts my Library to the images containing it (thus losing view of the image I want to tag.)
In Elements it would only sort when selecting the check box next to the keyword. (Another reason I want check boxes!!!!!!!!!!) Elements would allow you to select multiple keyword tags themselves (without sorting images as you do so) and you could drag all the keywords to an image (or selected images) to apply them at once. How do you do that in LR?
In a similar vein (sp??) I would like to add keywords to the keyword painter by dragging them from my keyword list and dropping them onto the painter entry field. That way I know exactly which keyword is going in, and am not mis-spelling or mis-naming a keyword, or typing one that doesn't exist yet, or is coming from the incorrect hierarchy... and I don't have to type anything in.
If I'm having a brain fart and missing something obvious here let me know.

>Ok. Maybe I'm just overlooking something here, but:
Perhaps you're overlooking use of right-click context menus...
>I would like to be able to select multiple keywords and drag them onto an image to apply them all at once
1. Select the keywords you want to add in the keyword panel.
2. Right-click one and choose "Use these as Keyword shortcut".
3. Display the image(s) you want to add them to in the grid and select all of them.
4. Right-click the selection, and choose "Add keywords..."
It's not dragging, but it works.
>In a similar vein (sp??) I would like to add keywords to the keyword painter by dragging them from my keyword list and dropping them onto the painter entry field. That way I know exactly which keyword is going in, and am not mis-spelling or mis-naming a keyword, or typing one that doesn't exist yet, or is coming from the incorrect hierarchy... and I don't have to type anything in.
Same idea...
1. Select the keywords you want to use in the keyword panel.
2. Right-click and choose "Use these as Keyword shortcut".
3. Click the painter icon "spray-can" and the keywords are displayed and subsequently used by the painter.
(Translate keystrokes if you are on a Mac.)
There are also keyboard shortcuts for all of this stuff which are actually faster than the right-click menus.
>If I'm having a brain fart and missing something obvious here let me know.
With due respect, based on your many posts about keywording deficiencies perhaps you are too locked in to the Elements paradigm. Try thinking outside of that box with LR. It has its shortcomings, obviously, but I've found I can get an awful lot done with it by forgetting about the way other applications do things.

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.

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.

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 + "%'";

Removing keywords from multiple images when the keyword isn't in the list?

So, I know that the method for removing a keyword from multiple images is to select the images, type the keyword in the inspector and press Shift-Return.
However, that doesn't seem to work if the keyword I want to remove is not in the keyword database (i.e. it's not in the keyword HUD).
For example, I deleted the iPhoto keyword group from the keyword HUD because I decided I didn't like that. I've got a bunch of photos that still have keywords like "Beach (iPhoto)". Typing "Beach" Shift-Return does nothing. Typing "Beach (iPhoto)" Shift-Return does nothing.
Adding an iPhoto group back to the HUD and a child keyword of Beach and then Typing "Beach" Shift-Return works, but I can't believe that's how it's supposed to work.
Is that the only way to do this? I've got a lot of those old iPhoto keywords to remove and that's going to be a major pain... there must be a better way.
PowerMac Dual G5 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I don't know if this will help you or not but it contains the roots of what you would need to script the removal of unwanted and unlisted keywords.
-- script begins
tell application "Aperture"
  -- set the target to the "Smart beetles" album at the top level of the library.
  tell album "Smart beetles" of folder ""
    -- get a list of the images in the album.
    set x to every image version
    -- move through the images one by one, deleting and creating the appropriate keywords
    repeat with i from 1 to x's length
      tell x's item i
        -- Note. if the keyword is top level, then the parents value is "".
        delete (every keyword whose name is "Australia" and parents is "Location")
        make new keyword with properties {name:"Sydney", parents:"Location"}
      end tell
    end repeat
  end tell
end tell
-- script ends

Searching for images with no keywords in large catalogs - LR5

I have a catalog with several thousand images and 98% have keywords. Is there any way to do a global search for the images which I may have missed adding keywords to?

Thanks Geoff, that was very helpful!

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
