Boolean Search Capability - 07-14-2011, 10:45 PM


Would it be possible to incorporate a Boolean search function in Pixtus? I always use Boolean operators when I search the web using browsers. It is so much easier to find what you are looking for and filter out what you don't want to see.

For example, if I wanted to see photos of star trails, I could put star trails in as the search and I would see star trails, but I would also see any mention of just star and any mention of just trails. I might get hits about bike trails. But, if I used the Boolean expression with quotes, "star trails", I would only see threads that have the words star and trails in that order. No bike trails.

See more about Boolean operators here.

Thanks, Abel! I look forward to seeing what you find. Hopefully it will be something fairly easy. If not, I understand that you probably have a jillion things on that list and need to do the ones that will get more bang for the buck. All in good time.

As always, I appreciate your quick response.
