Search syntax: how to exclude other tags than these specified?

Post by lateralus123 »

Hi!

I want to find all pictures where only me and my daughter are on.

tags:"myname" AND tags:"daughtersname" gives me these, but also all pics where other people are on. How would I search for pics ONLY EXACTLY containing these 2 tags?

Thanks for your help!

nomultistring:whole:tag:"myname;daughtersname"

edit:

nomultistring:whole:tag:"myname;daughtersname" | nomultistring:whole:tag:"daughtersname;myname"

I'll look into adding a wholemultistring: modifier..

multistring:

Hey,

Thanks for your fast answer!

nomultistring:whole:tag:"myname;daughtersname" gives back only 1 result, which has indeed only the 2 tags I expect, but I know and see that there are many more.

... while I'm writing, I had an idea and yes - the sequence matters!! daughtersname;myname brought all the missing results!

Thank you very much!

Everything 1.5.0.1372a adds an all-strings: search modifier.

Normally, Everything will match a multistring value if any string matches.

Use the all-strings: search modifier to match all strings.

For example:

allstrings:whole:tag:myname;daughtersname

The order of myname and daughtersname does not matter when using allstrings.
