Batch update for 'keywords'

[framewerkz]

It would be good if we could also batch update pictures by keyword (incidentally, does PBase's search function search purely by image title or by keyword too?).

At the moment (and I've just checked) the search function is still inadequate, neither searching on keywords nor descriptions. But it looks as though Slug is addressing this as the search page has changed a bit over the past day or so. All of my Minimalism gallery has the keyword minimalism but only one image shows in the search. The keywords were inserted well over 2 months ago.

I have had hundreds of keywords on images for two months as well. Google image search finds mote of my images than this engine does. 800 images...I can only find 8 or 10. Bummmer.

Global keywords would be magnificent...then if they worked....

I would try it again as now all my images marked minimalism now show in the Search. Thanks Slug.

WhoooHooo!! You are correct Shiela. I double that thanks Slug!

sorry about that. i had turned off automatic indexing a while ago for performance reasons and had forgotten to run it manually.

will be moving statistics and search stuff to a separate database server soon so they won't interfere with the rest of the site when traffic gets high.

as always, apologies for any site slowness. been running around 3.7mil pageviews/day recently. i expect the hardware capacity will catch up with the traffic demand fairly soon, then things won't break.

Any news re original request? Likely timeline?

I was referring to the ability to batch-update keywords, rather than having to do it image by image.

The batch update is great, but I would also like to be able to batch update the 'keywords' field. Thanks!
