Find and replace not working anymore

[PhiK]

Hello

I have the following problem, which appeared recently : when I use the find and replace function I get the attached message error, and PMP cannot locate the files which need replacement :

" The search term(s) were not found  or an unrecoverable error occured. Nothing was replaced."

What should I do ?
I am on Windows 10, with the last build (5820).
Thanks

Can you post a screenshot of the Find and Replace panel, showing all of your settings?

Thanks,

Have a look at this thread: http://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=14493.0

Produce a log and post it here with the FIND_REPLACE_LOGGING turned on and I'll see what's going on.

I am using same settings as in previous screen copy.

Good luck and thank you

Thanks for the log.

From the log: searching 'ISO110; USA2017; USA2017 été' for 'ISO110'

'ISO110;' is being considered as a word.  If you had searched Whole words for 'ISO110;' you would have had success.  Also I think that if you turned off the "Treat repeating fields as a single string" off then it would have worked.  When that setting is on, fields like Keywords that have multiple values (terms) will have their terms concatenated with a separator (user preference, either comma or semi-colon).

I think that the search for words should ignore common punctuation though if I do so then numbers with decimals or thousands separators will be harder to search.  Hmm.  I will have to think on this.
