Short question [no... really... stop laughing! :) ]

[Kaigi]

Wondering:
if Accept Filters cover 'everything' containing them, then my having:

Burke
B.Burke
Brooke.Burke

in my FILTERS.XML file is redundant? I actually just need the first one, as the second and third add nothing new whatsoever to what the first one would accept?

Thanks!

That's right, unless you use ! or uhh... # I think.. then the filters will be considered a match if they occur anywhere withing the search string, not just the begining/end/etc.

[Kaigi]

So... this would be where a 'reject' filter might help?

I could add "Brooke" to my Accept list, then add "Burns" and "Shields" to my reject list, and pick up other Brooke Burke pics that might've not had her last name in them?

[If this is correct: "By George, I think I've got it!"]

It also depends on how many "Burkes" there are there. If you want to filter them all use "Burke" if just a specific one, then "Brook.*Burke" might be better

[Smite]

You'd also pick up Billy Brooke, and any other Brookes out there, but yes, you've got it.

This adds nothing to the thread, but I have to say . . . damn sweet search going on there.
