Tag Search doesn't always show "best"

I have lots of photos and have tagged these with quite a few tags.
With some combinations of tags I get "best" "close" and "not", where "best" is photos with all selected tags, and "close" is photos with one or more, but not all the selected tags.
For example, when I search for all photos with my brother in a certain town I get 2 best, which are the only photos of him in that town, and 144 close, which are a combination of photos of him in other places, and photos taken in that town, but without him in them, plus a whole stack of Not, which do not have either him or that town tagged, which is exactly how I would expect the tag search to operate.
But, when I search for the same town and "bridge", I get NO best (although my manual count tells me I should get 12) and I get 140 close, but these are all photos of bridges anywhere, AND all photos of any topic in that town. This seems like an inconsistency.
Can anyone offer any sort of expanation for this?
I hope it is not related to the size of the catalogue. Does any one know if there is a limit on the numer of photos I can put in a catalogue (I currently have 7237) and is there a limit on the number of tags (I have around 700). Photos with a lot of people in them may have more than 10 tags, One for each person, one or more for the location (eg, HOME ; Town name where photo was taken), reason for photo, (Birthday, holiday, anniversary etc. )
Thanx in advance for your time, and I hope someone can help me sort this out.
Pete

> Does this perhaps mean that if the tags I am searching on are all or partially in the same category I may not have a search resulting in only those photos which exactly match each tag searched for?
Something like that. I don't recall the exact details of the algorithm. As far as I can tell, it got changed later. In PSE 3 Organizer, tags seem to be independent of one another and the categories and subcategories [which may now be nested indefinitely] are just aggregates.

  • HT3180 When trying to play itunes and slideshows from my Mac book to Apple TV the small icon on the bottom right of the screen which switches between Computer and Apple TV doesn't always show up, and therefore the function doesn't work.  What's up?

    We are trying to play playlists and a slideshow from an Apple Macbook wirelessly to the Apple TV.  The small, upward arrow icon that appears on the bottom right of the screen (which allows you to pick Computer or Apple TV) doesn't always show up, and therefore, we can't get it to work.  Any thoughts?

    Airplay mirroring software will not work with anything below Mountain Lion 10.8 and an Apple computer from 2011 or newer.

  • Mail icon in dock doesn't always show that a new mail has arrived

    Hi,
    I have a Tiger installation at work that doesn't always show when a new mail has arrived and I can't figure out why. The Mail icon in the dock doesn't change before you maximize the Mail app.
    Does anyone in here know how to fix it, or is it a known bug in Tiger (10.4.3) ?
    Regards
    Thomas G. Madsen

    First of all, Mail must be opened to see the number of new messages in the Mail icon. Have you checked if it's opened?
    If it's opened, open Mail app, go to Mail menu > Preferences > General, and check that, in "Dock unread count", it's selected the option you need

  • External video view doesn't always show anamorphic

    It's really weird, when I look at my output video from the external monitor through my DV or TV connected to my DV, sometimes it doesn't show it as anamorphic or with the letterbox but sometimes it does on the same sequence that I'm editing. What am I missing?

    well, it's not like that, what I meant was, the sequence was set to anamorphic and all the clips were shot in anamorphic, but when playing the sequence and watching it on my DV screen, the exact same sequence sometimes shown in 4:3 and sometimes shown as anamorphic, sometimes when I restart FCP, it'd be all fine but sometimes it won't. Like just now, I'm working on the sequence, everything in anamorphic, when I play it the first time, it's perfectly fine everywhere, but when I play it the second time (I didn't touch anything on the sequence), although it's fine on the FCP canvas, it's showing 4:3 without the letterbox on my DV screen. Did I miss something? Any help would be great.
    Thanks

  • Text doesn't always show up?

    Texts always make my iPhone but not always iPad.  How do I make sure always gets to both?

    You might be seeing the effects of the anti-aliasing that PSE applies to the label text.  If your photos are being displayed at a radically different size and/or resolution than originally, the anti-aliasing will make the type look grey.

  • Hovering over links doesn't always show hover state?

    After installing Firefox 7, I noticed something weird. I'm a front-end web developer, so I noticed this recently when creating custom tool-tips that appear on hover. I noticed that the hover tooltip wouldn't appear for certain links, and at first I thought I was doing something wrong on my end, but then I realized that this was happening on almost all websites.
    Here's what's happening: on ''some'' links, not all, the hover state only gets activated on certain parts of the link. [http://i.imgur.com/P60He.png Here is a screenshot] -- it's from the Firefox help forum. Hover over the green portion activates the hover state (underlining the top link), but the red portion does nothing. Some of the links work throughout, but some don't. The same goes with Google search results.
    I'm running OS X Lion.
    I'm wondering if it's just me or a Firefox 7 bug, can someone help/confirm?

    I am having this issue as well. I am also running OS/X Lion and when the issue crops up, it is not limited to Firefox, it extends across all browsers... I have tested on Opera, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome... it happens in all of them. I believe this to be a Lion specific issue, not just Firefox.

  • Since FF31 bookmarks toolbar doesn't always show on startup. Corrected per session by disable (then re-enable) via View- Toolbars- Bookmarks Toolbar

    The above problem only occurs occasionally on startup. Bookmarks Toolbar reappears after disable/re-enabling (as outlined in question) but its occasional absence is annoying.
    Thanks for all of the hard work you do at Mozilla, it's greatly appreciated!

    You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
    The current Firefox releases store the toolbar customization in the browser.uiCustomization.state pref, so it is possible that there is a problem with the preferences.
    You can check for problems with preferences.
    Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    Note that Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • The Address Book Contacts doesn't always show the Titles.

    Among the contacts I have, some entries do not show the title in the name field of the address book.  I tested on one of them that used to show the title by removing the tiltle and saved it and then putting it back in again and saved it.  From
    then onwards the title no longer shows up.

  • JLayeredPane doesn't always show JLabel

    Hi all!
    I have a little problem:
    I created a Timer that shows the average (media) over the big JLabel with the time (tempo).
    here is some code:
    pannelloPrincipale.add(tempo,BorderLayout.CENTER);
    c.add(pannelloPrincipale,BorderLayout.CENTER);
    finestra.getLayeredPane().add(media,100);
    finestra.getLayeredPane().add(numeroPartita,100);
    media.setBounds(30,50,400,100);
    numeroPartita.setBounds(0,400,100,100);
    timer = new java.util.Timer();
    tt = new TimerCronometro();
    timer.schedule(tt,0,9);the problem is that sometimes, when i stop the timer, the average does not appear. If i resize the window or use some command it appears.
    Instead, the JLabel numeroPartita in the LayeredPane appears even when the average is not shown.
    Is it because it is shown before the average is calculated?
    Do you have any idea to solve this problem?
    thank you

  • Reader list doesn't always work

    Hi,
    I like the reader list. It's like pocket.
    The problem I have is that the icon doesn't always show up to allow me to mark an article. Like businessweek.com. Not sure why. On other sites, like IO9.com, no problem.
    I have a Google Nexus 5 phone with 5.0 Lollipop.
    Thank you.

    Hello s2poon .
    Have you tried to refresh it?
    Because base in my experience, the icon will appear when all the webpage is completely loaded .

  • Pages don't always show when using cfinclude

    For our site we have a page template, a shell, that we use to
    display pages. It uses a cfinclude to call the page into the
    template:
    <cfinclude page=#url.PageName#.cfm>
    The link for that page would look like:
    <a href="index.cfm?PageName=contact">
    However, on a number of occassions, users click a link for a
    page, and get the error "page not found". If they simply hit
    refresh, the page shows up without a problem. The page is there,
    and it works, but it just doesn't always show until refreshed. Of
    course, most users don't know to refresh, and it's a pain to do
    anyway.
    Any ideas why this happens? Suggested solutions?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    i use cfinclude constantly with no problem... when you get
    the 404 page, right click, go to properties and see what page is
    being called.
    i doubt this would be an issue but try dropping the "url."
    from variable... (never know). i usually misspell things like
    "PageName" for the same reason (never know) so would be pgName or
    something. i never use common words unless i have to in variables
    and db fields.
    love CF but it has got tons of weird bugs that you just have
    to work around.
    hope this helps....
