Tagging PBs so that images/maps will show up in media or guide searches.

JohnB

I have a number of PBs with images and especially maps that I would like to appear in searches. Can anyone suggest with an example(s) of the sort of tags that should work.

When I do a passage guide on (say) Matt 5:5 and then Matt 12:12, I can't understand the logic for the first bringing up a picture entitled "Matthew writing his gospel" (from NIVZSB) in Media Resources for the first but not the second. It is not that there are lots of resources for the second to bump the picture out. What sort of tags might produce this effect?

Unfortunately, media tags don't work for images in personal books, and there is no way to make your personal book images appear in the Passage Guide.

You can make them appear in the Media Search, however, when searching for words or verses that are right next to the image.

Here is an example Personal Book that can illustrate how this works: 5810.ArtTest.docx

A few notes:

1. Text or verses that are right next to the image, either immediately before it or after it, will become associated with the image, and if you search for that text or passages in the Media Search, the image will come up. So, if you want to tag images with Bible verses, be sure to put them right next to the image. Also, remember when tagging to not cross chapter boundaries, and to explicitly include verse ranges if you want your images to always surface (because of https://wiki.logos.com/detailed_search_help#Using_Operators_with_References, i.e., a search for <Revelation 2:5> will not surface an image associated with "Revelation 2-3"; instead, you have to tag it as "Rev 2:1-29; Rev 3:1-22", which will surface any imaginable search for verses in Rev 2-3). 

2. It is helpful to separate each image by a Heading (e.g. Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.). I have found that if I do NOT do this, the media search will often not work correctly, especially the thumbnails.
