It took a while to add the search feature back once I did an update. I admit that I am not as familiar with Sytist as I should be but it is always last minute.

I have uploaded photos and put tags in as a name. When I search I get zero responses. From the main page, to within the gallery.

How do I change it so that the search looks at the tags on the photos?

The search for photos is within the galleries. There is no global / site wide search for photos.

To enable the photo search within a gallery, go into the Photo Display Settings for the gallery:

Even searching within a gallery results in no finds.
I checked the Photo Display Settings and they are what is showing in the manual.

That search field you have circled in the side bar is the pages search ... searching for pages. The photo search for the gallery is the search form that says "Search Photos".

Thanks. I have removed the "Page Search" and now I can't figure out why the "Photo Search" isn't on this gallery and sub galleries.

I have compared a different gallery (and sub-galleries) that do have the "Photo Search" showing and can't seem to find a difference.

I looked at the manual (https://www.picturespro.com/sytist-manual/articles/enable-social-share-for-photos/) and followed those instructions for the sub-galleries but the Photo Search doesn't appear.

Any direction on why it isn't showing up would be great. Thanks.

What is the link to the gallery without the search?

each sub-gallery within it.

This link:
http://schools.mychildscreation.com/st-francis/st-francis-2019-2020-art/

Is a section/category, not an actual gallery.

Each of those shown on that page ARE galleries. Not sub-galleries within a main gallery. There won't be a search option on that link since it is not a gallery. You can enable the search option in each of those galleries which will only search within each of those gallery in the photo display settings in each gallery.

Since I just started uploading photos to our site and experience a similar problem I thought I continue on this thread.

Do I understand it correct the search works for a "main" gallery - event x - under a section and its eventual sub galleries - event x 1, event x 2 etc. ? Which info in the photos renders a response on a search?

You can search in a main gallery which will search photos within the sub galleries.

If you go into a sub gallery, it will only search within that sub gallery.

It searches the keywords/tags and the filename of the photos (there is an option to not include the file name in the search in Settings -> Photo Settings).
