Progress Update

Finding images on Trove is simple, but finding beautiful images that Expressit users might actually use involves a bit more than typing "happy".

In the physical design of Expressit I have been working on defining the categories, and the search terms that go along with that category (mood). I have had to use a lot of search operators. Mostly OR and NOT operators, as well as filtering the results to come only from a specific library (nuc:), such as Flickr ("YUF").

Searching for "happy"


An example can be seen above, where up to 10 of the returned images are great for "happy".

SEARCH: (sea world) -(middle OR 40 OR aerial OR unbalanced OR wall OR topsy OR connie) (nuc:"YUF")

With "happy" filling up and as we learn to navigate html5 canvas, it looks as though Expressit will soon be ready to say a thousand words!
