I have a parent page of multiple child pages; each child page has two TVs, each TV has tags key-words.
I want to retrieve the child pages that have a keyword tag in any TV and display it in the parent page.
thanks a lot.

Use getResources.

Here's a working example for you, assuming I understood your question:

[[getResources? 
  &parents=`[[*id]]` 
  &tpl=`myRowTpl`
  &includeTVs=`1`
  &includeTVList=`enter a Comma-delimited list of your TemplateVar names`
  &tvFilters=`myTV==%keyword%||myTV2==%keyword%`
]]

Place this call on your parent resource and it will match and list all child resources that have the specified keyword in those two TVs (See &tvFilters above). Make all appropriate adjustments that suit your needs.

Head over to the docs and have a look at getResources: http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/getresources

Can you be more specific about what you want to display from the child pages? You probably don't want the whole page, template, TVs and all, so what *do* you want?

I used the answer given by treigh to solve my problem.
now I want to store the IDs children returnd in the first time in a temporary variable
in the second stage,
this varaible will be used to retrieve other children pages with another keyword but they are not returned in the first stage

in fact, the children pages can have a common keywords.
how I can do ?
thank you for your help

I don't understand how you can retrieve children that were not retrieved in the first pass by storing the IDs of children that were. I also don't see why you need two passes, since you should be able to add to line 6 of Treigh's example and get all the resources you want in one pass.

In any case, a dedicated snippet would be a lot faster, but we'd need to know more about what is supposed to happen in these two passes (for example, are all the resources to be mixed in one list, or presented in two separate lists?).

Also, a couple of questions about the TV values:

1. Are any of the TVs set to their default value (it's faster if none are).
2. Can you use the raw values of the TVs for your search without processing them? (It's faster if you can.)
