searching IPTC words

Post by jpt65 »

Hi

Would you tell how to use and-function ("With all of the words"-option in Search-window) when searching from different IPTC-fields? For example, when I try to find images with word "Lisa" in description-field and word "car" in keyword-field. This seems to work only when both words are in same field.

Yes, currently you can't make a 'OR'

Pierre,

can you tell us what it can do it this moment,
can search use "AND" (or "OR") options and can these be applied between different fields (IPTC,format,size,...) ?
For now, I seem to get inconclusive results when doing some experiments.
If search-option can't do AND and OR at this moment, is this planned for the future ?
