Keep Galleries Search Results Separate

I have a number of photo galleries, one for each country I visit. Often, people accompanying me appear in more than one gallery. Person names are my keywords.

If I search using the keyword cloud, the results for a person are not in gallery order but are mixed.

Is there a way of getting the results separated by gallery?

    If you're using a keyword cloud you can edit the characteristics to limit the keywords to the current location. That would assume that you drag a keyword cloud into the gallery.

    If you're using the full keyword page (http://yoursiteurl/keyword) I don't believe there is a way to limit the scope of the keywords.

    It is possible to limit searches to the current location by placing a search box on the page / gallery and specifying the scope of the search.

    For example, if you add a search box to All Galleries (or to a specific gallery), you can edit the characteristics of the search to limit the scope of the search to the current location.

    Thanks, Denise. It's kind of you to think about this.

    I guess SmugMug orders my Search results using a file characteristic which I haven't identified. I think it will be easier for users if I stick with what I've got.

    Ordering by gallery could be a feature worth adding, though.
