Joomla’s search is provided by Smart Search (com_finder). It builds a search index which needs to be kept up to date, and Event Gallery ships two plugins which feed your events and images into that index.

The search will return only publicly visible results. Events and images that are protected by user groups or a password will not appear in the search results. |
The Smart Search Plugin provides an integration with the Joomla Smart Search component (com_finder). It helps to fill the search index with information about your events.
For that it uses the following fields:
- event description
- event text
- event tags
Configuration Options
-
Thumbnail size
Defines the size of the thumbnails shown in the search results. Valid values: numbers.
Make sure the content plugin is enabled to update the index once you change events in the back end.

If you sync your file system with the database or change the search plugin configuration, make sure you rebuild the search index manually. |
