Title: Search Options in PGO
Post by: Gasmann on September 28, 2015, 05:53:35 PM

Hello Wilson,

after reading today's post re. PGO "nearly complete" I wonder if I missed something. For me, the most important feature still missed in PGO is an improved search function. Nothing difficult.
I'd be glad to be able to use

- for example a search string "+Jane -addiction" that finds all database entries for "Jane" except "Jane's Addiction"
- several keywords in one Query, f.e. "+RT +R. +Thompson"

Is there any hope ?

Thanks

Juergen

I think PGO search uses logical operators:

"Jane" AND "Addiction"

"Jane" OR "Addiction"

I think you can use NOT as well. Maybe not XOR though!

Cheers,

Wilson.

I'm not sure this is working. Its how it used to work in V3. I'm having my doubts that it has been implemented in V4...
