Hi. I was wondering, do virtual galleries do not appear in smugmug searches? I created a public virtual gallery yesterday...google search set to false, smugmug search set to true, external linking enabled. This gallery appears as expected in the Community it was placed in, however, its nowhere to be seen if the gallery name or the images themselves are directly searched for. I suppose perhaps the images themselves would only appear in a search as coming from the gallery they were originally referenced from, however I find it odd I can find no mention of the gallery itself.

Is this expected or do I simply need to wait longer for the gallery to be indexed properly?

Thanks!

    Should appear fine, wait for indexing to catch up, thanks!

    Hmm....still waiting for my virtual gallery to appear in searches....over 48 hours now. Does it really take 2-3 days for indexes to catch up??

    well, i got the issue sorted out, though the fix was somewhat odd. i actually had to change the virtual gallery name to something else. after doing so, it immediately appeared in searches when looking for either its name or keywords.
