Found this, some keywords not working on NewSmug. This is old KW, not new one just added.

Works on legacy (photos found) but not NewSmug (NO photos found)

Search on NewSmug (photos found)
http://www.photosbyat.com/search#q=greater+white_fronted+goose+'greenland'

Looks like it might be that keywords don't work on NewSmug with four sections?
/keyword/1+2+3+4

Changed one of the photo keywords by removing the ' . Tested without the single quotes (').
Worked on Legacy but still didn't work on NewSmug.

    There are several threads about keyword oddities in the new smumug.

    one issue is that indexing is VERY slow. So you might or might not be hitting that (not sure why search would work then, but maybe it's seeing different database info).

    The other is that the way keywords actually get uploaded and saved is fundamentally broken. You might look through this: http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=238910 I don't think that is your problem now, but if you try to edit the keywords it may change them around unexpectedly whenever the multi-word keyword is the only keyword.

    Sorry I don't have a better answer. I also was a bit surprised to see a single quote in a URL. I thought it had to be converted to hex (%91). But interestingly when I tried that, it did yet something completely different, so not sure if that's relevant.

    Looks like it is the single quotes in a keyword that stop working. Posted this problem in another thread.
    Something they just changed recently b0rked them. They were working.
