Keywords Indexing

[CWSkopec]

I just saw this:

keywords: beach (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/keyword/beach) california (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/keyword/california) coastline (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/keyword/coastline) stacks (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/keyword/stacks) editted (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/keyword/editted) san diego (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/keyword/san%20diego) del mar (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/keyword/del%20mar) groman (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/keyword/groman) california coastline (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/keyword/california%20coastline) cwskopec (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/keyword/cwskopec) chris skopec (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/keyword/chris%20skopec) chrisskopeccom (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/keyword/chrisskopeccom) [Indexing: skopec torrey pines torrey pines state beach costal]

I haven't noticed the "[Indexing:...]" before. Is this a new feature? Or have I just not been paying close enough attention before?

In either case, I'm curious... where are the keywords getting Indexed? Just on SmugMug? Or are they being indexed on Google or similar?

Here's the gallery (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/gallery/8506269_zfJP6#559883897_Y6fLo) I noticed it on, just in case. 2 of the images no longer show the "Indexing" but the first one does.

Thanks!

Yes, this is new, it's based on a request from our customers, to show that 'hey, we got your keywords, we're indexing them!' -- they are being indexed by SmugMug's search engine.

Cool! Thanks for the hard work and fast response, Andy! :thumb

Is indexing taking much longer now?
Yesterday I added a large amount of images and the keywords were indexxed immediately. Today I added another batch and going on an hour now and still displaying indexing and the keywords are not available in searches.

IT can vary. Just like Google or any other search engine. They will index.

Same problem here. Been at least 2 hours.

Sorry, Andy! Looks like my curiosity opened up a can o' worms for you!

If you take a look at the gallery I linked to before (here's the link (http://cwskopec.smugmug.com/gallery/8506269_zfJP6#559883897_Y6fLo)), all three images were uploaded at the same time (about midnight, pacific). The first one still shows "Indexing" yet the other 2 appear to be done.

[SPK64]

Going on 2 hours for me also.
At this (http://steveangie.smugmug.com/gallery/8470087_YJz8w#560088242_qxCUR) location.

Give it the day please, and let us know if they're all set or not.

How do I set the # of keywords to display on my keyword page: http://www.journeyamerica.org/keyword/

I've looked for this answer, but couldn't find it. Thanks for the help

Control panel, homepage tab, adjust number of keywords.

Hey Andy,
I'm still seeing "Indexing" on one of the images (here (http://www.chrisskopec.com/gallery/8506269_zfJP6#559883897_Y6fLo)). All three in the gallery were uploaded at the same time (a little before midnight on Tuesday). This photo (http://www.chrisskopec.com/gallery/8207225_q837R#560062821_uwjbd) was uploaded just prior to my first post yesterday (it's the one I first noticed the "Indexing" on) and it appears to be done indexing.

I don't know whether it's the new indexing or me going a bit mad, but google seems to be returning my site in more searches for keywords now. I certainly aint complaining!!:barb

Excellent new feature! It will certainly reduce the number of shift-refreshes, as I check whether smugmug has picked up my new keywords

I added a new 152-photo gallery (http://www.darkroomreflections.com/gallery/9078858_6XfFX) yesterday, and none of the photos have been indexed 18 hours later. (Still shows "[Indexing...]", and does not show up in keyword searches.) It used to only take a few minutes before.

The gallery is unlisted and unlisted galleries are not keyword indexed for the public.

[CosmicVoyager]

The gallery is unlisted and unlisted galleries are not keyword indexed for the public.

They were not indexed for the owner (me) either. Anyhow, it seems the indexing process has finally completed and the keywords are now up to date.

So, is there a description of what we should expect from indexing somewhere? I *really* appreciate having numbers in the filenames included in the index (it allows clients to search for an image number in a gallery of 500 photos), but I'm not seeing consistency in the indexing process. I've got part of my gallery with image numbers (that are part of the filename) listed as a keyword and part of it not (the "not" part were files added a few days after the images that do have image numbers indexed). If a gallery starts as "unlisted" and later is made public (with a password), would that affect the indexing? How long should indexing of a gallery take (roughly a few hours or a few days) before we get concerned that indexing is done (and is incomplete)?

(I just noticed a gallery uploaded Oct 20th and image numbers were missing from the keywords, now has the [indexing: 1234] showing up, so maybe patience is the answer -- since you recently added numbers to the indexing scheme and it's gonna take a while to scan images and get these included.)

Here's a gallery that's got partial image-number indexing:
http://kinderpics.smugmug.com/Lakeridge-HS/LHS-2009-Beauty-and-the-Beast (password is "stuff")
The first files (taken through Nov 9th) have the image number (from the filename) listed as a keyword, but later on (capture time-wise) the image numbers don't appear as a keyword (starting with this image taken on Nov 12th): http://kinderpics.smugmug.com/Lakeridge-HS/LHS-2009-Beauty-and-the-Beast/10212395_YJUNi#712383712_Ct69y

[Out-of-Focus]

I have a quick question on "Indexing"

In "theory" if I put a unique "keyword" (out-of-focus)on my pics.. I should be able to find all my pictures with this keyword (at the smugmug main page).. am I right? its been over 5 days.. and the search comes back with nothing.

Am I missing something?

The dashes in your keyword are going to mess that up. You need to change it to "out of focus" or something else.

Really? If you search for that specific keyword, out-of-focus with the dashes, it still won't work? Or do you mean searching for "out of focus" won't work?

Here is the link to one of the pics with the keyword "out-of-focus"

http://www.out-of-focus.us/Nature/Flowers-2009-07-18/10324692_aRwwU#713773745_7JABs (http://www.out-of-focus.us/Nature/Flowers-2009-07-18/10324692_aRwwU#713773745_7JABs)

I see that it does not like "out-of-focus" with the dashes.. but "random" as a keyword works

Thanks for all the help.. I will make the changes and take out the "dashes"

Dashes are used to combine multiple keywords. When you try to look at the single keyword "out-of-focus," smugmug looks for photos with the 3 keywords "out", "of," and "focus" but NOT the single keyword "out-of-focus." If you change the dashes to spaces, smugmug will look for photos with the single keyword "out of focus." Dashes just happen to be special characters that smugmug uses internally.

I have learned that the hard way, over and over, every time I make that mistake. :)
