Title: search keywords: starts with, contains, etc
Post by: lise on November 24, 2009, 03:51:10 pm

Has the ability to search lists (such as keywords) by using 'starts with' or 'contains' been implemented? If not, is there a workaround that does not require checking every single relevant box?
I have about 40 items nested under "Woodworking Projects" and I just want to create a search for any docs with the keyword 'projects' without having to select them all (because it is a fluid list).

You may need to use the advanced search editor instead of the wizard.

I would expect [Keywords]="projects" to work.

Hi Matt,

Nope. Doesn't work. I type it directly into the Import/Export box of my search list but it auto gets modified to [keywords]=[projects] whenever I close and come back in.

I did, however, find a workaround in a old post: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=51792.msg353468#msg353468

lise, my workaround is creating a calculated field (manage library fields) [Keywords], then you can use contain in smarlists and searchlists


@ Matt, it would be really nice if semicolon delimited fields could exclude data not belonging to the first pick in a smartlist...like it is with strings, for example first you pick album monkeys, then keywords, the "lookup" will give you all keywords in the db I want to see the keywords belonging to bananas  :)

..i would not say no to be able to expand nested fields with a click either..  :P
