Search for collections vs. categories

[Sylvain M.]

Hello everybody,

 

New question of the day : we have many collections imported from our old software.

We would like to search medias with collection terms, in the search panel.

Unfortunately, medias are not found with the search...

Perhaps we should move Collections Terms to Categories, but we have to keep the hierarchy, and with hundreds of terms, we would prefer an automatic process.

Could you advise us on this point ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello Sylvain

 

you can use the Advanced Search to find Collections.

Advanced->System->Collection

Tested with 1405 build.

Also the Quick Search works. Select Collections in the search criteria and enter the name of the Collection in the field of the top line.

 

Regards, Uwe

Thanks !

I did not saw collections in system sub-menu.

However, the quick search doesn't return medias tagged inside collection.

For example, I have a collection named "Papillons" (Butterflys in French) with some pictures in it (which is classified in the "Insects" collection, which itself is classified as "Animals" collection).

When I search for "Papillons", I have 0 results in quick search.

 

Is it "normal" ?

Strange. It seems Collections is not part of the "quick searching tags". I'll register this task. Thanks for pointing this.

[Sylvain M.]

Thanks, this will be very useful for us !!

which build do you usw. I don't habe problems in 1405 build.

[Sylvain M.]

Daminion 4.1.0 build 1278

[Murat]

Uwe is right. Forgot that you can select to search for Collections in Saved Searches directly.

[Sylvain M.]

In "saved search" perhaps (with search in Advanced->System->Collection mode).

But not in "quick search" for me !?

In the meantime, i have upgraded my Daminion to Daminion 4.5.0 (build 1405), and the quick search does not find into collection terms :-/

You can select it manually:
