Can not find my photos when doing search
February 06, 2012 02:51AM
I have a couple of photos of minerals from the Ford Mine in Arizona in my"My Photos" section, and they have been there for several years. Today I was using the general search pages for Photos and entered Ford Mine and Arizona, and found only one photo from the Ford Mine in Arizona and it was not my photo, any idea why I can not find my two photos, all the data seems to be identical in the description etc. Have I done some setup wrong someplace?

Search doesn't work that way. It doesn't look for individual words in the search string, but looks for the entire string (in the order in which it was entered) in the locality string.

Apparently the keyword search does not look at the locality; the only picture found in your seach happened to have Ford mine in the caption.

I think I have found the problem, I thought it was searching in the Mindat generated location text, but it is actually searching in the text description that I added. After I added Ford Mine, and Arizona to my text it found the photo. For whatever reason it would not locate those same words in the Mindat generated text.

I also have a problem with a photo. I have published a picture of a Rhodizite from the Animie Red Ace pegmatite and till now the photo is not shown at the site! I only can see it when looking through all Rhodizite pictures and when looking at my mindat page.

The locality page's cache was old.
Now it is visible.
