-> Yes, you're right. It's a different bug. I told I took a deeper look into the problem, and found out that the matching of keyword and category and the returning of objects were based on coincedence which laid in the problem I described below. I'm sorry for this one. The bug I posted earlier was misleading.

2) Maybe you didn't mean a ONLY match. After rereading your post, it sounds like your trying to do a AND type search, ie, it has to be in both guys. Again, this is not possible currently, but it could be done with a modification to the search tag. Actually, since we pass the keywords the same way you pass them, a comma-delimited list, and Verity treats lists like that as an OR search, you may want to try passing the list of keywords like so:

apple AND oranges

-> No, I mean an OR search

If you look at mdkeywordobjectfind and see how it constructs the category restriction, you will see it's an OR string, which you could change to an AND, or change to Attributes.CategoryAndOr

4) You say you want to find objects that are assigned in category Foo (let's forget for a moment you want stories ONLY in Foo), if so, why are you using keywordobjectfind, why not use categoryobjectfind instead?

-> I want all objects with the keywords OAK OR SPARROW. I specify a list with categories from wildlife. My book is returned because: 1. It has the keyword OAK 2. It has a category from wildlife. BUT the keyword OAK is not member of a category from wildlife, that is my problem. What i do now is do a mdkeywordobjectfind with a resultset FULL, next <cfloop list="#lstKeywords#" index="thisKeyword"> <cfif listFind(stObject.stKeywords[thisKeyword], thisKeyword> display the item </cfif> </cfloop> So I check if the matching keyword is member of the categories I'm searching in.

Thanks, Johan
