Webby Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hi All, Had some new search filters show up today which I haven't seen before, and not in the list of abbreviations on the right of the page . [WOP] which is understood, but also [front] and [rear] . One was california beach [WOP] [front]. The other was california beach [WOP] [front] [rear] Any idea what the searcher is looking for??

Webby Those have been around for a while and are picked up from the tags you use. Usually they relate to searches for people or buildings Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 thanks Pearl, mmm, "front" is in the keywords, as in "ocean front walk", but not "rear". And why the need for the square brackets? Webby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) As I understand it, the square brackets define a search on one of the special terms, rather than on the tags themselves. Otherwise the search would just be for the tag "wop". Don't know about front and rear, though. Those you'd expect to be tags. Incidentally, a search for "france" returns a result when only "french" (as in fries) is in the tags. It only happens in my AIM though, i can't replicate it in the library search. Odd.

The location field is searchable in AIM only, which is very confusing. I've been caught several times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a slide scan and I've never used location, but that camera had GPS, and the last place it had been switched on outdoors was evidently in France, so that went to the metadata. Never something I did consciously. Interestingly the setting is for Calais- I haven't been there since 1995, so the GPS was off by 20 miles- I would have been in Dunkerque.

But there will be others. Mystery solved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webby viewpoint. so if the camera facing in from the water toward the beach, is that the "front", or "rear"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 ah, hadn't used the viewpoint tab before. That explains the square brackets. But as you say...how does the search engine know? And what is the veiw from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back is interpreted as rear so perhaps that is one of your tags also. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoprocta Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I had a recent search on Zambia [back]. It was a rear view of passengers boarding a plane at Livingstone Airport. I wonder (as so often) what the searcher wanted?! BTW, I've just noticed that Livingstone Airport was renamed 'Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport' in 2017; my pic was taken in 2009. Should I add 'Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport' to the keywords? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
