In scientific/academic publications, one often sees a list of Keywords in the topmatter. That being said, I am not certain how people use them. There are often a dozen or more. I have had to throttle back my use of tags, to avoid long header lines. Also, tags are limited to head lines, only. I would like to implement a secondary list of keywords, that might be searched in an agenda search. I don't know whether properties would be appropriate, although I understand properties can slow the system down. Don't know. Probably something similar to properties. So, for example, if I am taking notes and indexing video clips or PDFs, a larger number of keywords would enable me to retrieve them in a less structured, free form manner. A custom agenda search would be perfect. Probably barking up a tree. Probably just better use of tags would solve this problem. Keywords, though, could be implemented outside of headlines. Maybe I should just use more headlines. Thanks. Alan --0015176f115ca047ae0477a80b79 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
