If you look at the templates, you'll find the search on most of the pages.  There's also an advanced search page.

Here is the code I copy and pasted in to my header file.. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I'm sorta' new to all this  :roll:


Code: [Select]
<body>
<table width="238" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="233" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="tablehead">
<tr>
<td width="1"><img src="{template_url}/images/header_left.gif" width="1" height="60" alt="" /></td>
<td width="1"></td>
<td width="225" align="right">
<form method="post" action="{url_search}">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="search_keywords" size="15" class="searchinput" /></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="{lang_search}" class="button" name="submit" /></td>

u probably using Dreamweaver, it did it for me several times too.
go through your templates and look for
Code: [Select]
%7burl_search%7d
replace it with
Code: [Select]
{url_search}

That seemed to fix it BUT the search is not producing desirable results. Will it search category names? I have 200+ categories and I forget where they are sometimes so I like to search for the name to locate them. I have typed in a dozen categories with no luck  :( Any ideas? Thanks!

no, search does not search in categories names, it search in keywords, that been created from image names, when they added.
and there is no a MOD for that either

OK, easy enough. From now on I'll just add the category as a keyword  :) Thanks!

Scratch that, keywords't can be associated with categories only images? I have 3000 images in about 125 categories, not an easy task trying to retroactively assign a keyword to each image!

Who wants to write a neat script which will populate the keyword of each image with its category name  8O A big pat on the back to the first volunteer  :D
