If the problem were the other way, that ACDSee hangs when searching the whole database.

When attempting to do a IPTC Keyword search in the Search Pane with 'Search in: Entire Database' option, it works as expected in 15 seconds for the size of my database. It's so ironical that when narrowing down on the current folder that ACD keeps searching forever. Toggling the 'Search Catalog Items Only' option doesn't help. Come on mods. This sounds like a bug. Or are we doing something wrong? carlos on "Search for IPTC keywords does not work." http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/search-for-iptc-keywords-does-not-work#post-33692 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 17:02:12 +0000 carlos 33692@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ And another note I forgot. When I do a search for instance for image width, it works fine. Every time. No Problem. The same folder, the same images. Only the search for keywords in IPTC or ACDSee database seems somehow corrupted. carlos on "Search for IPTC keywords does not work." http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/search-for-iptc-keywords-does-not-work#post-33691 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 16:49:55 +0000 carlos 33691@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ BTW, what should it have to do with images in other folders? The search in the whole database works. But only the search in a specific folder doesnt. But it doesnt depend in what folder I search. It seems like it is a deep problem within ACDSee. Funny enough, the folder I have done the tests with contains only around 100 pictures. So its not like that the folder is to big. carlos on "Search for IPTC keywords does not work." http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/search-for-iptc-keywords-does-not-work#post-33690 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 16:31:57 +0000 carlos 33690@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <blockquote><cite><a href="#post-33684">Sam Dring said:</a></cite> I would rebuild thumbs and meta for your whole image stock, if I were you.  Use the image well and select all - it will take some time. </blockquote> Ok, I have done what you suggested. Took me over an hour. My database contains around 85000 images (~30GB). Unfortunately it changed nothing.

Than tried a search. It worked. I closed ACDSee, reopen it and tried the search again. It works. So far so good, but strangely in both searches in addition to the pics from the folder I got two pictures from other folders as a result of the search. So I tried your suggested method with these two folders. After that, I have done another search in the first folder and ACDSee crashes again. I rebuild thumbs and metadata again, but ACDSee keeps crashing. Bottom line, I am back at the beginning.

The search option with in a specific folder works maybe one of ten tries. And it makes no difference if I search for more than one folder. Only the search in the complete database works. I cant believe that such an important feature does not work properly. arntis on "Search for IPTC keywords does not work." http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/search-for-iptc-keywords-does-not-work#post-29840 Sat, 25 Oct 2008 04:36:41 +0000 arntis 29840@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <blockquote><cite><a href="#post-29796">Marc Sabatella said:</a></cite> <blockquote></blockquote> This should work if the pictures were actually in that folder, not a subfolder.  At least, if you have the "Include contents of folders" option selected in your Quick Search options.  There might be a way to get it to search subfolders too, but I ended up just setting up my folder naming scheme so that subfolders of a folder I might want to search  start with the same name as the folder.  That is, the main folder I might want to search is PROOF.  So all subfolders of PROOF are named PROOF_001, PROOF_002, etc. </blockquote> What is strange is that it will find some photos, but not all of them.

I did not know I could use the Quick Search box like that. Thanx. :-) But I could not get it to work.

I'm not able to solve your problem but could you try to do the exact same search without limiting it to a single folder\subfolder. Could you please tell me if it works in that case?
