<div>Hi Val, Steve.<br>
<br>
</div>
I have a problem finding concrete sign through "search
by symbols".<br>
</div>
I am searching for this sign: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5/searchword.php?ui=6&sgn=52&sid=2222&sTrm=fobie2&type=any&sTxt=&sSrc=&">http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5/searchword.php?ui=6&sgn=52&sid=2222&sTrm=fobie2&type=any&sTxt=&sSrc=&</a><br>
</div>
If I'm searching for signs including this C hanshapes
(orientation is not relevant), I don't get this sign in
results.<br>
I get it only if I remove location criteria..<br>
<br>
</div>
Can you help me explain how location criteria works?<br>
</div>
</div>

Hi Honza,<br>
<br>
I would be happy to explain.<br>
<br>
Searching by location is based on 2 dimensional placement from the
center of the sign.<br>
<br>
For the sign in question, the center of the sign is the center of
the head. <br>
<br>
<img src="cid:part2.05040103.09070106@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
<br>
The C hand for this sign is far down in the canvas.<br>
<br>
To use the Search by Symbol:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle2.0/searchsymbol.php?ui=6&sgn=52">http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle2.0/searchsymbol.php?ui=6&sgn=52</a><br>
<br>
The hand shape in question is in the 9 group.<br>
<img src="cid:part3.01000309.04000902@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
<br>
Last column, third one down.<br>
<br>
<img src="cid:part4.05040507.07020406@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
<br>
<br>
The hand shape is <br>
<img src="cid:part5.07020407.09020207@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
<br>
If we drag this symbol into onto the canvas in the lower location
and make the hand shape "Match Any"<br>
<br>
<img src="cid:part6.02070503.03000206@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
<br>
Now if we search, we find the following signs.<br>
<img src="cid:part7.07030806.00090101@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
<br>
And the sign in question is found. Third column, second one down.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, if we move the C hand shape to the top of the search
area as the following illustrates...<br>
<img src="cid:part8.07000803.04020108@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
<br>
We will have different search results, only one in fact.<br>
<br>
<img src="cid:part9.07010800.01040100@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<br>
I hope that helps explain search location.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
-Steve
