Adobe Bridge - adding Keywords

Question

I am running Bridge v13.0.3.693 on an Apple Mac Pro running OSX Ventura v13.4. When I add Keywords to a photo file in Bridge, I simply click in the Keywords Field, type the new keyword, type a semi-colon (;) and type the next Keyword, etc. Apparently, some of these new Keywords go into the primary Keyword section, but others go into the “Other Keyword” section. I did not realize this until noticing that many of my Keywords later show in a database program (NeoFinder) with the prefix “Other Keywords|”.

Exactly how do I add new Keywords so they do not get added to the “Other Keywords” section? Thanks! Mark Weidman

Thanks for your response. When I enter Keywords, I do it one of two ways. I have the Metadata Panel > IPTC Core Panel open, click in the field for Keywords, type the new keyword, type a semi-colon, type the next new keyword, etc. The second approach is that I have created several hundred Keyword Templates, which I access from the Metadata click-down Menu, then usually Append them to the file.

I just did a test, when I click on the “+” sign in the Keywords Panel, the new Keyword is created in the “Other Keywords” section. If I collapse the Other Keyword category and create a new Keyword with the “+” sign, Bridge creates the new Keyword in the primary category.
