Hello,
I hope this is the correct forum to report this problem.
I have added a keyword search box using the help guide which had been workign great. ("Add a custom search box" from the customization FAQ ( " mysearch">SMUGSEARCH " in header box and "#mysearch {text-align: center; } " in css box.)

But today, it does not find galleries it used to find before.

For example if you go to this subcatergory (http://www.highlightphotos.com/AYSO%20Region9%20Soccer/442082)page and type in "U08B01" in the seach tool in the header, it will find no galleries even though that is the first gallery on teh page and the term U08B01 is in the gallery keywords on the gallery customization.

This used to work just fine.
Can someone please help.
Thanks

Not sure the search will pick up gallery keywords, only ones on photos.
You can bulk add that keyword to all photos in the gallery.

Thanks. I'll do that, but it's a daunting task with 500+ galleries.
But, the keyword search used to work - I swear!
I'd type in the gallery name, and presto!
What is the gallery keyword field in the gallery customization used for if not for this keyword search?

well, this morning it works again as before.
Of course it makes me wonder what was up before.
Was SM doing something at the back end that was effecting the search script?
If the search tool is not reliable 100% of the time, it's better not to have it available at all, don't you think?

Thanks
