Search media keywords

Post by johnmorrisoniom » 16 Apr 2012 09:32

At present, the media keywords search uses 'OR', so clicking on e.g. 1871 census England gets you any matches for any of the keywords.

1871 OR Census OR England

I would like an option to use 'AND' instead

So in my example the same search would only match with media that had all 3 keywords, in my opinion, far more useful

1871 AND Census AND England

On the media window under the find button you can use Find using query, then you can build the 'and' query and use that to filter records.

In the Multimedia Window if you use Find then Search Text and then enter the Keywords separated by a Comma then select All Text Fields.
I find this works for me and has the same effect as using AND.

It is better if you only separate the keywords with spaces, otherwise the order they are listed becomes significant.

As it looks like a duplicate, can I ask that this is removed from the requests forum please
