Question on Complex Searches Against Keyword Lists
Hi,
I have been uploading large numbers of assets to FcSvr without too much problem. Usually I ingest the assets by uploading a directory of clips and I immediately associate them with a new Production for organizational reasons. As part of the bulk asset upload (as individual assets) I define a set of keywords in the form "person1,person2,person3,year,month,location".
What I want to do is simply do an advanced search to ask the question "Show me all the clips that DO NOT have person2 in them".
I have added the Keyword Field to the advanced search tab as outlined in the Peachpit textbook but I am getting unexpected results. I have tried entering person2 into the Keyword field in advanced search form with the modifier "Not Equals" which should return assets that do not contain the text entered.....but I still get clips where person2 is part of the keyword string.
Anybody have a suggestion as to an alternate approach ?
Thanks in Advance
