Gallery Search In Organize Mode 0 Results & Duplicate File Upload Handling

worldrider

Two things: SmugMug is messed up with its "Gallery Search" when I'm in Organize for that gallery, and duplicate file handling on upload needs work.

First, I'm searching Filename, ie. IMG_1234.jpg. When I preview a photo, get info, and see that filename is IMG_1234.jpg, then try to search the gallery with that filename SmugMug yields 0 results.

Though, if I try to upload that file to the gallery, SmugMug recognizes it as a duplicate.

However, if I try to upload a duplicate image with the same Filename, the same photo, but with a different resolution, SmugMug uploads the duplicate. However, is there a way to instruct SmugMug to replace a duplicate file with a larger resolution?

I've tried a dozen different images and when I search, I get the same outcome: 0 results.

I can only surmise that the SmugMug search function in Organize Gallery doesn't work.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm guessing that you need to search things like keywords, captions, or titles that are assigned to the photos in the gallery.
I've just tested all 3 on my site and they work as expected.

To find out whether the file name is searchable I suggest you contact the SmugMug help desk directly.

On your question about uploading a duplicate image with a different resolution, you should check with the help desk.
