photo search failure: missing Pacific Falcon, IMO 7200128
« on: November 18, 2019, 03:52:24 AM »
Though I have posted two photographs of tug Pacific Falcon, IMO 7200120,
the first one, id 3003836 does not come up in photo search, but does show at

"more of this ship" with my second photo: see below:
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=3082114

I noted this at an earlier occasion and am now just wondering how many more
of our members' photograph cannot be searched.

the photo is there: http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=3003836
but does not show up under "Photo search"

Both show up for me if I search with the IMO 7200128.

Only one shows when I search with PACIFIC FALCON?

It shows up if you search for 'Pacific Falcon' with 2 (two) spaces between 'Pacific' and 'Falcon'.

My question remains: why are certain photos no accessible under "photo search" but
are only accessible when using TWO spaces between a two-word name, or having to go
the long and more time consuming way going "advanced search" through a vessel's IMO
number, which many vessels don't even have.....

Just how many other members' photos cannot be accessed through "photo search."

When I search Pacific Falcon or 7200128 I get 11 results for this tug!

It looks to me Dirk, that this was an issue of your own making. It looks like you inadvertently put two spaces in the name when you loaded the photograph. Easily done. I often make mistakes when loading photographs. The only surprise is that you didn't have half-a-dozen members all pointing it out to you. It appears that the issue has been corrected now, either by yourself, or an admin / editor. Just one of those things.
