Filtering search results

digitalsafaris

a)Can you search on the results of a previous search to filter your results
b)If you are in a album/subalbum what’s the best way of limiting a search to that album/subalbum
c)If you use printTags to display the tags associated with an image/album, and you click on one of the tags, how can you limit the resultant search to show only other images in the same album.

A: no.
B,C: what theme do you use that has a search function on an album/image page? Anyway, the only way to limit searches is through boolean expressions. You would have to build a custom search page/form which added the boolean logic to the search.

Thanks.
Using Default theme, and have added search function to the album and image pages. May remove them because it implies in-context search, so better to have search at gallery level only. I read elsewhere* of problem with mixing tag searches with searches on other fields, so suspect it may not be possible to search by albumname AND tagname. Shame.

*(ticket 977 If you do a search using AND between an element which is a Tag and one which is in one of the other fields, the search will not find any matches.)

Yes, sorry. Right now we do not have a plan on how to make boolean tag searches work with other fields. Just so you know, what fails is the AND function. OR searches will work.
