Title: Search switch missing
Post by: Burax on November 01, 2021, 11:05:59 PM
Hi,
sorry if that's just a setting, but I've been looking for a long time now.  :'(
Where can I get this switch for the database-wide search?

Yeah, I know it should be on the file window toolbar, but I just don't have the switch..(?)

That's part of the next release of IMatch.
What made you think that this is included in the current version?
See https://www.photools.com/release-notes/

Mario looking at his attached screenshot my guess is Burax put his cursor inside the search box then pressed F1 which opens a help page that shows this soon to be coming feature

Exactly, that's a screenshot from this help page, i haven't read the release notes..
That is there several times and no reference to 'coming soon'.
Ok, now I know and can wait, it's worth it!..  :)

This apparently slipped in when I've updated the help for some other reason.
Anyway, this change will be in the next release.

If you don't want to wait... the Fancy Search app has provided this functionality for quite awhile... it also offers a specific tag searching to narrow down results to specific XMP fields.  Enjoy!

Ok thanks, that's not an urgent problem, but I'll try the app once.  :)
