Creating a Keywords filter.

Adding such an "InList Keywords Filter" further limits what output is returned from a search. I.e. if a "Keywords" parameter (see ID to learn about the relationship between a filter ID and parameter name) is added to the search request, then any assets, whose keywords does not match any of the supplied keywords, will be filtered out. 

Example: 

If an asset has the keywords "cute" and "kitten" and the supplied keywords are "outrageous" and "hellfire", then that asset will not be returned by the search

Another asset with the keywords "outrageous", "imaginative", and "surprise" will be returned, because one of its keywords matches the supplied keywords.


Before adding the new Filter, both of these example assets were returned, but afterwords, only the second asset is returned.
