I'm in the process of tagging my 4'''' foto catalog, and I'm trying to utilize smart collections while doing so.

I've been using collections like "Doesn't contain Person" AND "Doesn't contain Sunset, Katt, Nature" etc.

At the same time, I have tons of pictures tagged with the local turist attraction "Lennakatten".

I just realized that the word KATT is part of the LennaKATTen -- effectively eliminating all those pictures from my smart collection.

Suggestion: Add "Isn't" that must match the entire keyword, not just a substring.

Side note: Being from Sweden I do spell Cat with a K and two T:s.
 
What happens when you use +katt+ ?

It means starting with and ending with katt and searches only for the single word katt.
I'm not sure, but I think it should work that way.

Well, it looks like I should go back and read the manual -- it worked perfectly!

Thanks!
