Keywords are not case-sensitive. Using all capital letters or no capital letters
does not affect the search.
•
Some generic keywords (water, for example) match many categories and
display a dialog box with specific categories. Select or clear these categories,
depending on what you want to locate.
•
In the Keyword Category samples below, some keywords are used together to
narrow the search. The following two examples provide information on how
results may differ using words together and separately:
•
Example 1–Using Local Road provides many category results, such as
Ferry Crossing Local Road, Local or Rural Road, and Railroad Local
Line.
•
Example 2–Using Road provides over 100 results from more
categories.
•
Partial words are recognized when performing a search.
•
You can use keywords in any order. You get the same results using Local
Road as for Road Local.
•
A keyword may find categories related to the word rather than including the
word.
•
Use the word "or" in the Keywords text box to search for multiple categories.
For example, "pizza" or "fast food."
MapTags: Converting, Moving, Hiding, and Deleting
When you search for and go to a Find search result, a
yellow MapTag displays at that location if the MapTags
check box on the Find tab is selected. If MapTags are
cluttering your view of the map, you can move the
text area of the MapTag, hide them from view, or
delete one, several, or all MapTags.
To Convert MapTags to MapNotes
To change all of the MapTags on the map to MapNotes, which can be retained when
you save the project, right-click the map, click Manage Draw, and then click
Convert All MapTags to MapNotes. A new draw layer called MapNotes is created
in your project.
To Move a MapTag
You cannot detach a MapTag from its anchor point; you can move only the text area.
Use the following steps to move the MapTag text area.
1. Use the Find tab, search for a place, street address, coordinate, category
item, or street intersection. MapTags are placed on the map at each point you
locate.
2. Click the Select tool
3. Click the text area for the MapTag you want to move and drag it to the
position on the map where you want it. The anchor point does not move.
