Strict search on Tags

Hi all;

I have pictures with multiple tags. Here are some of the tags frm my list:
"New York", "Seattle", "Paris", "An English Man In new York", "Sleepless in
Seattle", "Les Chinois Ã* Paris", etc...

Using AQS, If I try "tag:Seattle" I get all pictures tagged with "Seattle"
but also all pictures tagged "Sleepless in Seattle"...

How can i do a strict search on "Seattle" (without having to negate all
other possible tags containing the word "Seattle")?

thanks for your help - regards,

RE: Strict search on Tags

Have you tried using another character instead of a space?
Sleepless_In_Seatle or Sleapless*In*Seatle to distinguish from Seatle. I'm
not sure what separation characters would work, however you could use a trial
and error method of finding one that works for you.

RE: Strict search on Tags

Thanks for your hint Michael - I don't think it answers my question though. I
do not expect to have to alter the syntax of my tags (keywords, etc...) to
solve a search problem. Tags are accepted and therefore, I expect the serarch
syntax allowing me to make an exact search rather (EQUALS rather than
something like CONTAINS) han a fuzzy search especially taking into account
tags can be exported to other systems -
thanks anyway, regards
