Location Specific Tagged Item Search Broken

Post by nerdweed »

If I enter something like this in the Location field of a catalog for Click and Search, it stops workings

?:\Home\Pics\ /t

D:\Home\Pics?Rating: 5 | Rating: 4 | Rating: 3 | Rating: 2 | Rating: 1 /t

This no longer works, however * /t does work

Also, a small wish. Can you make the search stop with an escape please. I have close to 300K records and a wrong click holds off XY until the entire list is populated

1) Works fine here. But you have to use the correct syntax. :biggrin: Use /T, not /t.

2) ESC stops any search.

1. I will check again with /T. I don't remember touching it until it wasn't working. Possibly, it got hurt while I was changing the location field. But you know better.

2. I believe its this way. Esc does stop search for others, but as tag searches are indexed and fast, it should be completing in around 2 seconds, but the listing of 300k items scattered across takes time and I don't manage to stop that listing even with an Esc

Yes. I tag around 100 more each day. I use it as a full fledged image viewer with ratings.

/T works fine. The working of /t on * makes it confusing.

Well, it has a meaning. The Search Pattern Switches are listed in Help under Quick Search:

/t Search the tags database only.
/T Search terms are interpreted as "tags" even when they are not prefixed with "tags:".

Sorry for making you repeat that Don. I have read this so many times. Never thought I would be caught at that.

BTW, anyway to stop the listing.
