ORLY? Where is it in the docs? :-}

I only see this:
http://smugmug.jot.com/WikiHome/API/APIFeatureRequests
smugmug.images.search (not likely, since you can get this via feeds already... do we need to duplicate effort like that? -Don)

And this:
http://smugmug.jot.com/WikiHome/Feeds/FindFeeds
Feeds are only available for public, non-passworded galleries.

    Bump. Could somebody ask Don (when he has a moment) to explain what he meant by "Searching via the API has been there for years."

    I did try to check my facts (see above).

    Hey, the baby's what, about 2 weeks old now? :-}

    Oh:
    Feeds are only available for public, non-passworded galleries.

    Actually, you can get feeds for private, passworded galleries if you first log-in and grab a cookie. So yeah, it ain't gonna work if you want to point your RSS reader at it, but if you're programatically hitting the feeds to do things like uh, search and keywords, then they might work for you.

    Since uh, there doesn't actually seem to be any search via the API, unless Don wants to correct me. ;-}

    I just found it funny to have onethumb rebuking me about search being available in the API for years, when AFAIK, it hasn't.
