Well, on the terminal I can kinda restrict it if I use something like this:mdfind "kMDItemKeywords == 'Japan'cd" && "kMDItemKeywords == 'Politics'cd" (restriction works because the type "kMDItemKeywords" is BibDesk- specific. Btw. I mixed up "Type" and "Kind" - I want to search for the "Kind" Bibdesk Item Interestingly if I search via the menubar-spotlight-search "kind" doesn't seem to work as expected while it works via the Finder. I hope Spotlight will become better with 10.5… Niels ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
