What is with Search?

cybercrypt13

When I type something into the Search box on the screen while viewing as a regular user, it doesn't seem to find anything. I've tried typing heading, catagory names, keywords... it comes back saying nothing was found no matter what.

Is there something special I have to do to get this to work?

Thanks

hi,
sorry you're having trouble. i just verifed, both as a logged-in user and then logged-out, that the search works. i searched for

motocycles

airplanes

flowers

dogs

and bacon. surprisingly, there are 147 hits on "bacon."

could you try clearing your browser caches, shutting your browser down, and re-starting your browser?

thanks.

Hmmm, when I go to smugmug.com (logged out of my account), and type in, i.e., bahamas, in the search box, I get a lot of galleries with that result. I've tried several words, butterflies, horses, ocean just now ... all come back with many many galleries. Is this the search box you're referring to?

I ended up removing the search boxes when I placed my own header on the page. So I guess its a moot point now. I do still have one question though. Is there a way to be able to upload the index page for your site where you can work on it in a real editor instead of having to do everything through that text box on the admin control panel?

Also, I would like to have other links that would take you to other pages other than galleries. Is this just not possible? Or if it is, where to I learn how it works?

Thanks,

glenn

nope, sorry. but you can download firefox, and firefox web developer, and see the effects of your css changes in realtime on the fly - i highly recommend this!

btw you can put the search back, and have it anywhere you want on your pages.... search dgrin customization forum for threads that contain "search"

ok,thanks but I guess my question was, where would I put the pages I wanted to link to? For example, on my current site, if I wanted to have a page that was a journal of a trip I was taking for people to read while I was gone, I would create a page called myjournal.html and post information to it for each day along the trail.

How do you accomplish this with smugmug?

html page with no photos
