Gallery search functions

desertpow

I am try to set up keywords for a gallery, but the keywords are too short for the search function. I would like to use numbers and colors on the dirtbikes that I have pictures of to make it really easy for viewers to find themselves. Am I doing something wrong or what is the criteria for keywords?

Welcome to DGrin and Smugmug! You might want to post this in the Smugmug Support forum.

But, you should be okay as long as you enclose words smaller than four letters and numbers between double quotes. So, say you had a rider named Johnny Doe on the green bike number 12 and you wanted to make the keyword the number 12 you'd have to use double quotes. Like "12". Now, if you want both the color and the number to be searched you'd have to enter "green 12" in quotes. *If the numbers are not in quotes they will not be searched.

Cool, I'll quote the numbers and the colors seperately and see how that goes. Thanks for the reply
