I know Deanna posted something a while back about searching for themes in her own gallery and nothing coming up even though she knew she had layouts in that theme.  In (possible) preparation for NSD, I was trying to search some themes in my own gallery and It is coming up empty even though I know I have layouts on that theme. Did we ever find out what we could be doing wrong - I am putting in wedding and know I have at least 25 layouts on that subject and nothing comes up??

I just figured something out!  When you go to the gallery, click on the top where it says My Gallery.  Then, use that same search bar to search Themes and it will bring up everyone's layouts by that theme, which is why I didn't think it worked.  But THEN, go down under where it says what you are searching (It says Gallery: Art Teacher's Gallery (when I search), with an x beside it and UNDER that is Filter by: and all the choices again.  When I select Themes there it shows how many layouts I have with each theme and I can select to see those!

Never would've found it if I didn't look for it this morning!  lol

Yes, it does work that way...did not try that before. If I go in MY gallery though and just put in wedding in the search bar for example, it says that submission is empty. So I am wondering if we do a game that is a gallery search...will it come up for people that are searching in a particular person's gallery?  I hope that makes sense.

Yeah, it makes total sense.  Not sure why we have to select it in both places for it to work.  Seems like that could be fixed!
 

I was able to search the whole gallery by typing in words like "Easter", "Spring" and "Outdoors". Works for my gallery too.

If I type in something in the search bar when I am in my gallery, it only shows the layouts with that in the title for me.  That’s why I had to search by Theme.
