have a search limited to only certain albums

I have included on my site quite a few family photos taken over the years. It is a password protected alfbum. I would like to be able to have a search option limited to certain albums, whether protected or not.  It seems that I recall that this option was available 'way back in CExx' days when Daniel Leu created one of the first.

Re: have a search limited to only certain albums

when you create or edit an album, there's an option under the Features tab to hide the album from search

Re: have a search limited to only certain albums

That I know, BUT I want to have a search that ONLY searches certain defined albums.
The one I remember from Dan had an admin section and you could define various items.

Re: have a search limited to only certain albums

then disable search for those albums you don't wish to be included. The only TTG option that's ever been available is to exclude an album from search

Re: have a search limited to only certain albums

I am afraid I have not made my self clear. I want the regular search, but I would also like a search that I can define the albums to be searched.

Re: have a search limited to only certain albums

Well, there's this: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … ith_search

But there's no direct way to specify the search be limited to certain albums unless you've put those album names into keywords, since search is based off of image metadata. Even so, you might want to make the keywords something like "album-albumname" (e.g "album-Jones") and and then search on

+album-albumname specific-person-keyword

Re: have a search limited to only certain albums

Search doesn't operate on albums that are either password-protected or marked as hidden from search.   There's currently no way of searching on password-protected albums.

Would it help if there was a Publisher setting (set within Backlight) to enable search on password-protected albums?  That way, only those explicitly marked as hidden from search would be hidden.

Re: have a search limited to only certain albums

That would be GREAT. It would keep me from having generate another BL folder on my site. This would be a good.
