Question

Negative search by caption - Organizer 2019

I'm having trouble with the Elements Organizer 19 when I'm searching by captions…

I've tried using the search bar and "Find by caption or note/Search by metadata" but all I get is "No media available. Please clear the applied filter and try again."

In some cases the Organizer comes up with 2-3 results, but I've added the particular caption to roughly 25 images. I've added the same caption to several images using multiple caption adding by right-clicking on the selected images. It seems to me like the organizer isn't registering all of my captions but only a few.

Am I doing something wrong?

You have two ways to search by caption:

- the Find menu

- the advanced search button on the top right of the display (magnifying glass)

They should both provide the same result.

The search by caption can find not only the full caption text, but also any word or part of a word.

So try to search by only a significant part of your caption.

There could be a few traps if some words include special characters like éà&àÉ...

Thank you for your reply to my problem. Although those are the exact same methods I've already tried... And absolutely no results

Most of my captions are product names without special characters nor Æ, Ø or Å and are relatively short captions like "Berit", "Rose" or "Patina" - yet still no images shows when I search by caption.

The only thing I can say ist that the search always works for me.

Maybe try to 'repair' the catalog? That can't hurt.
