Title: How to search for two or more keyword
Post by: lightchaser on July 13, 2017, 05:24:08 PM
Dear forum members! Can't find a solution in the help. And trial and error won't help too. When I search for a combination of keywords combining them for instance with and I always get an empty search result. What is wrong with that approach. Tried it in the search window and in the Metadata filter.
Thank you for your support.

Franz - What method of search are you trying to use?

A) I assume you use the search bar in the file window:


1. Make sure the search is looking in the metadata (drop-down menu on the X button on the right of the search bar).
2. Combine the keywords with AND

beach AND vacation

AND must be written in all upper-case. "and" will not work.

Click into the search bar and press <F1> for a full explanation and numerous examples.

Note: Keep in mind that the file window search bar searches whatever is in the file window (the scope).
