Gallery Search

I'm just into my second day of a smugmug trial, so I'm exploring all of the features.

One thing I'd like to be able to do is search for galleries (just my own) that match my search terms. However, my search returns 0 galleries, and only returns keywords, which are not useful for my purposes. I've got my search terms in the "Title" of the gallery, as well as making them gallery keywords. For example, my gallery title is: "Ski Trip Deer Valley, Utah, March 2003" and my gallery keywords are: Ski, Utah, 2003, Deer Valley

When I do a search on Utah within my own account, it returns matching keywords, but under the Galleries Matching Utah, says 0 results. What's the trick to getting it to find galleries, if it's not looking at the title or the gallery keywords?

If it's helpful, my smugmug name is bellhanley.

Some background follows, in case you're interested in an alternatives I've already explored that doesn't fully meet my needs.

At first it looked like the keyword feature would be useful for this, but it only returns what I believe is called a "virtual gallery", so it lumps all the photos together. Even if I use the related keywords to drill down to a specific gallery, it doesn't display the photos in the order in which I carefully arranged them.

    OK thanks...just so my expectations are set correctly, how long might this take? I added the gallery (with title and keywords yesterday), so it's been close to 24 hours already.
