Description julien.t43+kde 2012-04-02 08:42:42 UTC

It would be very cool to be able to use boolean operator, regexp, gmail-like operators (has:attachement in:read ...) in searches or in filters.
For now, there is no way to do (at least in one search):
- search one-star hotel with neither legend, neither title
- search zero-star pictures with non-empty legend or title
- search in fulltext (anywhere) a location and a word
- looking for empty or not-empty metadata field

No feedback here ?

Would really like to have query like "(rate:1+ OR tag=~/plan/i) OR cybershot"
Some engines here (not sure if fit for digikam but ...): http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Fulltext_search_engines

Comment 2 julien.t43+kde 2012-10-20 17:32:22 UTC

still not possible to search "((!tag1 and rate=1) or tag=~/tag[234]/)".
digikam 2.8.0 from linux ppa/lubuntu.

seems related:
Bug 153208 - Option to search for empty/not empty or regular expressions for text fields in advanced search
Bug 218312 - make search results exlude tags childrens 
Bug 183425 - advanced search filter by tags - "meet all..." does not work
