Subject: Using the Search tool to find images of
interest. (A Tutorial)
Searching
the Photo Library on the Angelo Consulting Web Site.
The photo
library is growing to a large volume of images, but finding a
photograph is easy using the build in WEB Site Search
tool.
Background: When images are uploaded to the
WEB site, only the file's Name, Date, and Size are recorded with the
file. Digital camera's auto create file names from random
numbers. For example, my Nikon camera creates file names like DSCN4849.JPG.
The WEB sites
photo library software allows me to save additional information with each
photograph I upload, so I can add a Title or Caption and add KEY
WORDS for the search engine to search on. So when I upload a photograph of
Melissa holding Jenna at a birthday party, I add the key words
'melissa' , 'jenna' , and
'birthday'. Now I can use the key word search tool to
find images of Melissa and Jenna.
The search
tool compares key words you enter, with the key words I assigned
to images and image folders, and then displays a page showing hyperlinks to
all images and folders found with matching key words.
In the example below, I entered
carlie as my key word to search for; which
resulted in a page of hyperlinks I can then click on to view images that were
given the key word carlie.
After I click on one of the hyperlinks, my browser is
taken to the section of the WEB that holds that image. If you want to see
the other images that were taken at the same time or event, Look on the tool bar
and click the
option "Go Back to Picture Library", your browser will then
show all images in the current library. (Tool bar shown
below )
Good
hunting and thanks for using the WEB Site.
