Re: [LegacyUG] doing an event search
Mark, Secondary and tertiary conditions only apply after the previous searches have been completed (see Help Files), so try reversing the order of the searches.

RE: [LegacyUG] doing an event search
Hi Ron, Yes you understand the problem well. I had another look at the search page and tried to think a bit deeper. The primary condition does say “look for whom”, so maybe you can only search for an individual who has criteria 1 and/or criteria 2. What I need to do is search for an event with these criteria. Can this be done? I’m beginning to think not.

Can any kind soul help? In trying to get a handle on what is actually happening here, I added a single event to a single person. The event-name doesn't matter, but the description, date and location fields were 'what', 'when' and 'Where'. I then tried searching for an individual with an Event-Date Equal To when. The search came up with 15 individuals and excluded the individual to whom the solitary event was added. What was significant about the 15 individuals was they all had at least one event that had no date.

No, it is working properly ... just not the way you expect. In English, Jenny's query looks something like... Find all individuals with an event where EventName equals England Census AND with an event where EventDate equals 02 April 1911 AND with an event where EventDescription contains Clerk. If an individual had 3 events as follows... 1) EventName England Census EventDate 02 April 1891 EventDescription Smith 2) EventName Residence EventDate 02 April 1911 EventDescription 123 Mayfair 3) EventName Occupation EventDate 02 April 1901 EventDescription Clerk ... the individual would be selected. What she really wanted was... Find all individuals with an event where EventName equals England Census AND EventDate equals 02 April 1911 AND EventDescription contains Clerk. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools/Custom Programming) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools/index.htm http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools NOTE TO LUG USERS: Use plain text if you want me to read your post.

RE: [LegacyUG] doing an event search
Hi Mark, and others, I think you will find that the 'And' operator is working properly. The problem is not being able to select a specific event when using 'Event Description' as one of the parameters. If you select 1. 'Event-Name' 'Equal To' 1911 census 2. AND 'Event-Description'of 'Not Equal To' 'blank' ... it will return the expected results ONLY if there are no other events in that record. In other words, if you have any number of records with more than one event, including '1911 census', the second 'AND' condition looks at all the events in that record, not just the event equal to '1911 census'. There is no way to narrow down the search to find only the '1911 census' with no data (or specific data) in the Event Description field. Note, too, that the 'Event Description' is different from 'Notes' contained in the Event. Hope I was able to explain it properly.

That suggests the AND operators are not working properly. I had not come across this problem, which explains my not understanding. My apologies to all. I guess building more complex searches via tagging is out then!

In search you can search for an individual who has a specific event name which occurred on a specific date that has a specific description. Not quite! I have individuals who all appeared in the 1911 Census. They all have several Events with the specific name England Census and some of them have Descriptions which include Clerk. If I search for Individual with EventName equals England Census AND EventDate equal 02 April 1911 AND EventDescription contains Clerk I DO NOT get ONLY those people whose 1911 England Census includes Clerk, but I get all those who have England Census Events, one of which is dated 02 April 1911 and any of which might contain Clerk. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
