keyword based search in expression media 2

[sarah]

hi there!
does anybody know whether expression media 2 allows me to see the results of my keyword based search in a way i could easily see all the files the shown pictures are in as well? in other words, i am looking for a software that either shows me all files the found pix (the search results) are in automatically (i.e. opens them up straight away) or at least gives me the files name without the need to open any detailed description of the picture, so that no more than another click is needed to get into these files.
let's say i am looking for pictures showing my mum as well as my dad and i'll get 50 results for my search. let's imagine these 50 pictures were found in 3 different files (i.e. 'holidays in france 2008', 'john's wedding' and 'mums 60th brithday'). i would love to see the 50 pictures i was searching for as well as the complete files they were found in, in this case: 'holidays in france 2008', 'john's wedding' and 'mums 60th brithday'. is that somehow feasible?
i know this is a very unusual way of working with the given search options, as the main idea of the keyword based search is of course to reduce results and to get rid of the need to search through a complete file. yet, that's what i need to work effectively with my photos.
thanks for your help!
best, s.

Whenever you click on an image in thumbnail view in EM2 you'll see the path to that image at the top of the thumbnail grid. This at least lets you know which folder that picture lives in. You can then navigate to that folder to see the other pictures.
In your given example, you could simply CTRL-click the "dots" on the folders (in Catalog Folders under "Organize") and see the contents of all three folders.
