The Smart Search Plugin integrates with the Joomla Smart Search component (com_finder) and finds images.
It indexes the following fields:
- title
- description
Configuration Options
-
Thumbnail size
Defines the size of the thumbnails shown in the search results. Valid values: numbers.
-
Open images in lightbox
The link in the search results usually opens the event. Using this option, you can open the lightbox on the event page and show the image directly.

If you sync your file system with the database or change the search plugin configuration, make sure you rebuild the search index manually. |
Thumbnail in Search results
With Joomla 4, it is only a simple configuration option of the Smart Search to let thumbnails appear in the search result.
Known Issues
With Google Photos, the images in the search result will not appear. This is on purpose. The thumbnail URLs are stored in the search database, but they are valid for only a few minutes. If Google Photos in the search results is something you can’t live without, contact me. Until then, it works with all other picture sources.
