Keywords Search syntax help

[Jose Raposo]

Hi everyone

Newbie question regarding searching using keywords in PM plus. I have a set of hierarchal keywords that I use to tag my photos. I will use the examples below:

Manuela's Family, Manuela
Manuela's Family, Isabel
Manuela's Family, Antonio

I would like to enter a search string that brings back only photos tagged with "Manuela" and not include photos that are tagged with the higher level keyword "Manuela's"

If I search using Keywords " Manuela " it will bring back photos tagged with all three examples.

Appreciate your help.

Hi Jose,

I believe you're going to want to enter the following to get your desired results:

keywords is "Manuela"

That worked for me when I used the keywords in your example on 3 images.

Thank You very much! Yes that worked.

Jose,

This will also work:

keywords "Manuela"$

Thanks Kirk, do you know of a resource that I can use that speaks to the search criteria/parameters  that PM can use?

Jose,

Thanks Kirk, do you know of a resource that I can use that speaks to the search criteria/parameters  that PM can use?

On the Catalog menu, there are two items that are useful:

Searchable Fields...
Search Examples...

The documentation is here:
