Include TAGs in search dont work or...?

[GertK]

Hi,

Can someone tell me how I include the TAGs from Phoca Gallery in my Smart Search?

I have add several TAGs to a lot of photos, like the TAG "fish". After that I run the "Index" under Smart Search: Indexed Content, but the tag dont show up or work when I search for it on my site.

So how do I search photos then?

I have the following plugins installed:
Phoca Gallery Plugin
Phoca Gallery Button Plugin
Phoca Gallery Finder Plugin (Images)
Phoca Gallery Search Plugin

Not sure if I need the above plugins for anything beside the Phoca Gallery Button Plugin I use.

Hope some one can advice / explain to me how it works

Hi,

first of all, the search only works for component, not for plugin - so if you are using a plugin, such images will be not searched.

Smart Search in Joomla 4/Joomla 5 is not so poweful like the standard search was in Joomla 3, so I think, it is not possible to implement the Phoca Gallery tags searching.

If your site is about search and filter features, maybe you can try to use Phoca Cart instead of Phoca Gallery as Phoca Cart has improved search and filter features.

Phoca Cart works like catalog, so similar to the functions of gallery system.
