We've done quite a lot of work lately updating our general look and feel, but we decided that our ancient search pages needed some special attention. Here's what we did:
See it yourself by going to our homepage here and entering keywords in the search box in the header. Or just click here. Powered by Amazon's brand-spanking new CloudSearch, our new search is ready to serve up an endless scroll of beautiful photos for your perusal pleasure.
Look Ma, No Pagination!
Here's a few reasons why you'll love it:
- It's stretchy. No matter how big or small your monitor is, we'll stretch to fit as many juicy thumbnails in whatever space you've got.
- It magnifies. Mouse over any thumb to see a larger preview of the pic. Like it? Click it!
- It keeps going and going and going… Scroll to your heart's content. Especially if you're using popular keywords like "sunset" or "motorcycle" that turn up tons of images. No need to squint and peck to click forward.
- It's got filters. The menu on the left lets you search by Person, Gallery, Photo or Video. Click the "Photos" drop down to filter things further via EXIF data (like camera make/model, aperture, ISO and even orientation).
Where's my photo?
We just launched this today and we've got billions of photos to index, so it will take a while. This means that if you're playing with search now and don't see your pics right away, give us a bit more time. They'll get there.
Tip: Also be sure that your photo's privacy options aren't locked too tight.
And one last thing: This new feature is on the general, global SmugMug search page right now. Once we've dotted our t's and crossed our i's, we'll hook it up to your site's search box, too, to blow your fans away. Stay tuned!

if they are private with a password, you won't index them, will you?
April 12, 2012 at 10:33 am
Are you limiting the # of options in the filters? For example, in the photographers filter — it looks like it isn't showing all the options. I performed a search and found a couple of my photos but if I want to search by photographer, my name's not listed in the filter options even though my photos are in the search results (apologize for using myself as an example, it was just the easiest way to describe :P)
April 12, 2012 at 10:54 am
What about adding a lens or focal length filter?
April 12, 2012 at 2:04 pm
What happened to the sort by most recent?
April 12, 2012 at 3:12 pm
Another awesome feature to add to SmugMug's already awesome site – any plans to offer access to search in your API? We can think of some really cool apps we could build on top of this.

When you restore it I will come back to it.
April 12, 2012 at 6:42 pm
If you click on a picture or gallery, how do you go back to where you were in the results? If I hit the back button I end up at the beginning of the search.
April 13, 2012 at 4:14 am
It's possible to scroll fast enough to get to the bottom of the screen and no more results will get loaded and there's no indication that there may be more results.
April 13, 2012 at 4:52 am
It really looks quite nice, but I am missing a boolean connection between search terms. I would be nice to have a search string like:
"Soup" AND "Cold" AND ("Spain" OR "Italy") NOT "Caspachio"
It would greatly simplify the refining act of a search.
April 13, 2012 at 5:56 am
Funny….I have over 37,000 sailing images on my SM web site and I don't come up in the searches for sailing. I have my site, pages and images tweaked to the max for search engine stuff for Google. Oh well.
April 13, 2012 at 6:04 am
Give them time. I had the same problem yesterday. I saw, it think it was here, that they have so much to index that it may take time.
April 13, 2012 at 4:06 pm
Very nice feature! I'm looking forward to the day when you can start to unseat Flickr for community photo sharing so I won't have to upload everything to two different sites.
April 13, 2012 at 6:06 pm
The new search thing is BAD…much worse than what you had before. It's totally slow, freezes up my PC when I do a gallery search, and it's clunky trying to load all those huge thumbnails. You have to keep scrolling up then back down to see if there is more, like it sort of "hangs" when it gets to the bottom of the current thumnails you are looking at. You can't see the dates of galleries even sometimes when you hover over the thumbnail. You have no idea most of the time if that album is a day old or 8 years old. If you're going to do it this way, PLEASE FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE AT LEAST MAKE A SORT BY DATE option (like flickr, webshots, photobucket, etc. all have) so you don't have to wade through all of these big thumbnails to find the newest additions. I cant believe this site after all these years, has not implemented some sort of sorting by date or "newest first" or at least something.
Anyone else agree?
April 14, 2012 at 6:49 am
I agree completely!!!!!!! Please return to the original. I signed up for the free trial. I willnot be staying here after 14 days.
April 14, 2012 at 5:02 am
Well, while the site looks awesome on my desktop PC, on both my iPhone and my iPad it looks like total garbage and locks up no matter what browser I use (Safari, Opera). I have switched between both the normal and mobile sites, and there is no difference. I suggest keeping the old search in the mobile site, which worked just fine, otherwise 9-12 pictures is all your ever going to be able to "search". And just in case someone wants to turn this into an Apple flame war…it's my job as an Apple tech, get over it. =)
April 14, 2012 at 6:47 am
Why can't we sort photos by recently uploaded, ect…? We used to be able to do this. Very disappointed!
April 15, 2012 at 8:12 am
sorry, but to replace a good site by an unusable search is a downgrade not a update. New big pictures are confusing, no possibility to search for new entrys and so on.
April 16, 2012 at 1:42 pm
Hey Smugmug, the effort is much appreciated, but this is clearly not a solution that is going to work. Did you focus group this new search? Where is sort by date? Why do I have to go back to the top of a search everytime I click on a photo? Who thought that it was a good idea to have 50,000 tagged photos load onto my screen, only to have to do it all again if I dare click on one of them and then go back to the search. It may look pretty, but the functionality is now horrid. A major step back and i am sure that is not what you set out to do. I am curious what do you see that is positive about this? Its ok to admit you made a mistake ya know, we will forgive you. Or, make it an option to use the new search function and you'll see how many people choose it. I am now looking for alternative sites, because this just doesn't work. Is this a result of the Amazon cloud search that you are trying to pass off as a step forward now?

Hey Dan,
Thanks for letting us know about this. We spent some time tracking this down and it turns out to be an IOS 5 thing with the way the back button works, but we think we have a workaround that will fix it that's in test now. We should have caught this.
April 16, 2012 at 11:05 pm
OK, here is my assesment of the situation going on here. Please read my earlier posts above first. I mean no animosity whatsoever but I hate to see a great site like this tank.
However these problems go back before Friday. Even before Friday, there was a MAJOR bug in your search results, where about a year ago about 1/2 of the albums on a search mysteriously lost their date tags. I wrote to your tech guys who shrugged it off and said nothing had changed when it clearly had. There's been other anomolies with the search, like a sudden HUGE instant influx of albums that came from "out of nowhere" and had no date tags. Maybe some of you long time users noticed that too.
So here is my Joe Q. Public suggestions:
1) Implement *SOME* sort of sorting ability. Perferably what flickr does, where one enters a start and end date, OR sort by newest to oldest (not great but at least something) OR at the very least revert to the old format (which was WAY better), where there is 10 thumbs a page with the "updated on" date tags back on for each gallery like you had before (that would be least desireable, but we'd still have some way of sorting if we have the patience to go through all the albums checking every date).
3) If you cannot implement a sort by date because of your architecture, at least address and fix the major bug that was causing about 1/2 of the albums to not display their uploaded date tag. That bug started about a year ago. A couple years ago EVERY gallery showed its date tag. No sort by date, but at least we could do it the "long way" and check for new albums.
I am curious to know if any others think these are good suggestions. And once again I mean this in the nicest possible way to help. I will not pester anyone anymore, I think I pretty much said all I think should be said, thanks for reading. I'm not going to ditch smugmug like some will, and I encourage the public to be patient and wait it out, and hope they fix thing up.
If people leave, check back in a few weeks and at least see if they've changed things. Don't give up on the site.
May 1, 2012 at 10:38 am
I've seen so many comments, a lot from people who are experiencing the same issues I am having: results fail to populate after scrolling through hundreds of images, the results are not dated, we don't know right away if we are on the same persons photo site but the look HAS changed, and pages are failing to load because of a "continuous" script (some people's browsers are crashing outright). Why not give people a choice of style like you do with the albums (smugmug, thunbnails, journal…)? It fits in with smugmug's model albeit would require more storage space. This format seems like it was developed for iphone or ipad users, not your average pc user.
April 17, 2012 at 7:48 am
New search is a great start. Thumbnail size is great – can't wait to see that on normal sites. ;-)
When searching for users in the new search tool, it shows/links to *.smugmug.com instead of custom domains. Personally, I'd prefer my custom domain show up there.
April 17, 2012 at 3:12 pm
Please go back to the old search!!!!!!!! Or at least make it possible to search by date.
April 17, 2012 at 5:06 pm
I've ran into problems where the page won't auto stretch when you reach the end of the results, sometimes scrolling up then back down will fix it, but other times not. Would be nice if at the bottom of the page there was a link that would "manually" stretch the search contents more. Also, it'd be really nice to have some filters to apply to a gallery serach, such as last date updated etc. Thanks!
April 18, 2012 at 3:17 am
Thanks for the search upgrade – I am sure you will take all the feedback on board as you always do on this great site!! Whilst the display and loading looks great, I have to agree with other users here that you do need the ability to search by date uploaded in addition to all those extra filters you have added (which are great by the way!!).
Whilst the photo search needs some tweaking, the gallery search facility really does need some major upgrading – especially now that we can no longer see any information at all regarding users name, date uploaded etc in the title like we used to be able to in the old search system. I like how the old search results displayed every album (10 to a page) up to thousands of pages if need be with all the information as well – and that is sorely missed now!! I strongly believe you need to be able to search the galleries by date uploaded (newest first or oldest first if you so choose) which will alleviate this problem a bit!!
Hope this feedback helps – thanks!!
April 18, 2012 at 8:15 am
Agreed, the new search may return 1,000's of results, but it is not possible to see all those results since the search results eventually stop growing. Also, if you make the foolish mistake of accidentally clicking on a gallery then want to return to the results? LOL, sorry Charlie you'll have to reload all those results again (bandwidth) and then find your spot all over. Or if you must close your browser and restart the search again, your back to square one.
This whole "facelift" reminds me of something those other cheesy photo hosting websites would have setup for users who don't know better- Smugmug appeals to the more professional power user. Date range filter like "taken yesterday, last week" etc. is certainly NOT power user. At very least give us a start and end date box for photos/galleries. If I wanted to view galleries from 2009 about fireworks, IMPOSSIBLE now- you couldn't tell me which ones they were, or even get to them since the search would max out before the desired gallery results were returned.
Super appreciate the need to update and keep current and fresh, just see this as a fairly substantial step in the wrong direction and the loss of significant features.
April 18, 2012 at 12:01 pm
It does help, Brett, thanks!
I think we fixed the IOS bug that had to do with the back button, and we have a toggle in test for sorting by photorank or date, so you can see newest or oldest first.
Scott, your use case is interesting. Thanks for the specific example. The good news is the new back end is very powerful so we can do a lot of things. We just want to keep the UI simple enough for the millions upon millions who come to the search every month just looking for pretty pictures, often to buy among those for sale.
April 19, 2012 at 4:29 am
I haven't been keywording as much as I should (my bad). To get my photos searchable is there a way of adding keywords to multiple galleries at the same time, or am I doomed to selecting each gallery individually ?
April 20, 2012 at 10:17 pm
I dislike the new version very much. You can't find when a photo or gallery was uploaded, nor can you sort by newest to oldest, so when you are searching with a tag that draws mutiple results, you can't find what the new galleries/photos are.
April 24, 2012 at 9:43 pm
I thought my browser was really getting screwed up when it kept closing for no apparent reason and then I saw this new style on SmugMug and figured my browser was really screwed up. So, I downloaded the latest Firefox version and no more browser problems except for this crappy, blocky ugly search engine.
Google sucks for searching for photos and the more Yahoo copies them the more I dislike them. Now SmugMug is on it's way to being the leader of ugliness for searching for images.
I like the old version with the "white" space between the photos.
By all means, let the photos enlarge for those not wanting to squint. I surely don't need it yet.
Search by date… has been covered… and is irrelevant if enough search terms are entered or one isn't searching for something so common.
My search term brought up the following:
1) 3 people — no name matched any part of my search term – do I really want to find people that don't have the same name as my search term?
2) 22 galeries — but only 12 are shown to me – where are the other 10?
3) 3141 photos — but only 108 are shown to me – where are the other 3033?
— Suggestions —
Some concerns I have are alleviated when playing around with the controls on the left but make it simpler for someone not eager to try using the controls on the left.
1) One should be able to know there are more galleries that can be viewed and have a "second page" through last page option in the center of the section or off to the right like the old system. Could be applied to any other category. Could even send one to a new page, so they are searching just by galleries, etc, without having people above or individual photos below.
2) 3141 photos and a simple click omits photos I may not want omitted. For example, click on Photos and one can then checkmark by photographers and galleries. There are many more photos being shown that just don't fall under those parameters. Why?
3) If I wanted to search by photo only, could I have just one photo shown from each gallery, not all of them? I don't need to be opening up multiple tabs of the same photographer.
4) When my images are finally part of this new search engine… they will be cropping the hell out of them and herding them like cattle jutting right up to other photographs. It's all a blur and does an injustice to the way my photos are viewed under a search with the old system.
Horizontal and vertical images should be viewed initially as they are. The first time someone sees my image, it will have been converted from a 8×12 to an 8×8 or imagine a nice 10×20 panoramic photo cut down to 10×10.
5) Where's the extra photographer name recognition below the photo in a general search? If they can view the gallery title a photo is under… why not the photographer's name?
6) I have my internet browsers minimized in size on a 23″ screen so when I maximized my browser my screen went blank. Using the bar at the right of the screen quickly fixed it. This bug was easily repeated with a new unique search term.
— Conclusion —
Adding more search parameters is nice but the only visual difference that is acceptable from the old to the new system is the rollover enlargement of the photos. Try implementing new search features into the old style with this in mind. The separation of various photos and something more consistent with their original size is really important to me. I want to feel really comfortable on SmugMug but I just want to puke when I see the blocky photos in the new search style. Save the blocky photos for those with blocky phones.
April 25, 2012 at 8:32 am
I've found that FF 12 does indeed get unstable after 1,500+ items have been scrolled through. Since you it's a cardinal sin to actually click one of the search results (no back feature) if the result is opened in a new tab FF totally chokes when you then close that tab and it must re-display the search results page with a ridiculous number of items on the page. Sometimes it crashes at this point, most often just lags for 8 seconds or so not responding then snaps back to life. I don't blame the browser at all, just whoever thought this "no pagination" was a good idea, I'd seriously love to sit down and chat with them over a cup of coffee to understand exactly what was the reason for that?! Just so ridiculously ineffective.
April 25, 2012 at 10:45 pm
I am AMAZED at how FAST smugmug implemented the sort by date feature–they got right on it and didn't wait. The important thing is you CAN NOW SORT FROM NEWEST TO OLDEST FOR GALLERIES SO YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO GO THROUGH THOUSANDS OF HITS TO FIND THE NEW ONES. THANK YOU TONS FOR THIS FEATURE. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE WANTED SINCE THIS SITE BEGAN. I have tested it out and it is DEAD-ON accurate. It doesn't miss a thing. It even returns (and consequently fixed) that long-time bug where the "date stamps" suddenly starting missing. The Newest/Oldest for Galleries works GREAT. Smugmug FINALLY got it right and let's hope they don't change it now.
To Jared: Now that we can sort newest first, it doesn't matter anymore about the blocky big pictures on the search. There is NO NEED to go back to the old page by page format because you don't have to scroll down more than a few lines since FINALLY all the new galleries are listed first. And if you want to search by pictures, well, the "last day/lastweek" feature is certainly acceptable. I dont search by photo, but in my experimenting with it it seems decent–you can check newest photos by last day, which is certainly enough. I didn't notice any discepencies with the photo result number and how many photos actually showed up like you reported. The important thing is Smugmug finally added in a date-sorting mechanism. The other minor issues can be worked on over time.
Another thing: You can re-size the thumbnails on the search index…I didn't even realize this at first. I use Opera which has a handy slider bar at the bottom…it lets you go anywhere from 3 pictures in a row up to about 18 when you slide it far to the left. The pics on the search load much faster if you make the thumbs smaller. And I dont get any crashing problems now, because all those "hangs" were occuring after MANY scroll-downs, but like I said, YOU NO LONGER have to go down far because of the Newest first option. Ditch that garbage browser and use Opera. Slide the bar(in the lower right corner) to the left and you'll see more thumbs, and it loads faster.
Also, (and this is important) you can open a gallery by right clicking and just "open in new tab" (with Opera), which very quickly opens that gallery next to your search window, and YOU DON'T LOSE your place where you were in the search. If you do this it won't reset to the top all over again, something a lot of people complained about. OPEN THE GALLERY IN A NEW TAB and you don't have to worry about that.
But the main point is that Smugmug did a hell of a job getting on this problem. They listened to the people. Having Gallery sorting Newest to Oldest is THE MAJOR thing that now makes the search index 100% functional again, and it's even better, because there is no more wading through all those galleries checking date tags–you know the newest stuff is at the top, and all you have to do is simply "remember" when you last checked that keyword or when you last saw that gallery. Couldn't be easier.
April 26, 2012 at 12:39 am
"Ditch that garbage browser?" — Carmen
Wow. That's a good argument to love the new search engine.
"Now that we can sort newest first, it doesn't matter anymore about the blocky big pictures on the search." — Carmen
What does sorting by date have to do with the blocky images?. Maybe I haven't been to an art gallery where they line up all the photos side by side, not in frames, with no space in-between them, cut to a square format and as people come into the gallery they say… don't worry about how the photos look, it's okay because we put the most recent photos up front and if you want to see the original cropping of the image, just let us know and we'll bring out another copy with the original cropping. Out of curiosity, have you shown and sold any photos at this type of gallery?
If you're so in favor of blocky photos being jutted up against one another, why don't you just change your personal SmugMug account to show your galleries and photos in a square format and ask to have their be no spaces between photos or any sort of pagination. It'll be okay, because the recent photos can be sorted to be shown up front.
Obviously you didn't understand all of my comments or you would have realized that the least of my concerns was the search by date feature.
Now that you mention it, waiting for the images to load so that I may scroll downward is a bit cumbersome, glitchy and annoying without pagination (pages to click to). Something that if they keep, I'm sure they'll improve. But, I would still prefer pages to click with the ability to decide how many photos will be displayed in order to see more images.
Cropping my images for a blocky, square format that crams all of the photos up against one another is still unacceptable.
April 26, 2012 at 8:13 am
Carmen- yeah, you can sort by date now- cool. While sorting by date may alleviate *your* personal gripe list with the new search format, it is a far cry from the silver bullet for most of the comments here. Sorting by date is a feature request that we asked for and has been implemented, it's progress not the solution.
April 26, 2012 at 11:59 am
Hey Scott,
Can I call you? That goes for most people who've posted here, I'd love to ask more questions about your use cases. You can email me with your number and times I can call at baldy at smugmug dot com.
The database we're now based on is very powerful so we can make many modifications but we're having trouble understanding some use cases and want to implement the most important ones, and get it right.
April 27, 2012 at 10:25 pm
i will address some of your comments.. First of all, your main gripe seems to be the fact that the new search index design "crops" part of the photo and "crowds them up". Now they are slightly cropped on the SEARCH– this is true, but if you hover over it, it shows the whole picture. Who cares about that? The gallery pictures themselves aren't cropped. THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE LOOK AT. And if they are doing a photo search, like I said, a simple hover shows the whole thumb, which incidently is a lot larger than the old pagination thumb size.
The GALLERY search is really NO DIFFERENT FROM THE OLD PAGINATION DESIGN–IT's STILL ONE THUMBNAIL PER GALLERY BEING DISPLAYED. THAT DESIGN WAS PERFECTLY FINE and one flickr (a dying website) DOES NOT HAVE. That alone makes this site better than Flickr. You can't search by albums over there.
Aren't you happy now that people will actually SEE your photos because they now have motivation to use the site because of date sorting? I can't say it enough: Date sort, date sort, date sort….you implement that, and your hits go up, more revenue, a happy Joe Q. Public; everybody wins. Forget the cropped photos on the search—people look at GALLERIES. And Smugmug is the king when it comes to galler functionality.
Also, I don't understand why you ask for "One picture" from each gallery on ther search…that's what GALLERY SEARCH does, it IS showing one picture from that whole gallery. Smugmug was ALWAYS like that. The only change is no pagination, which if you think about it, it is better now….who needs place markers in your search if you can sort by newest? You don't have to scroll down far enough to worry about place markers anymore. The new design is FINE as long as they keep date sorting. No need for pagination.
Pagination obviously still exists on the galleries themselves, as you know. Nothingchanged there. They have a good system–the user can choose many different sizes, thumbnail/page/slideshow/journal options–what more can you want? There is NO CROPPING of photos on the galleries themselves. No one cares about a slight crop on the search results–remember, most people look at the GALLERIES (I would think), since it is faster and more convenient. The Sort Newest/oldest feature is the game maker folks….for all the paying members, think of all the people who will now see your albums because the newest galleries are listed in perfect sequential order with newest at the top. Before, you would have to wade through tons of hits and check EVERY DATE STAMP(half of which were missing) and not many people would bother doing this. There is no need to go back to pagination for the search index design, simply because you have date ording now which negates the slow-loading/frustration issues with the new boxy design. Now of course first time users would have to go through that headache of scrolling through all those gallery hits, but once that is done, they NEVER have to do it again because of date sorting which the lifeblood of ANY MAJOR photos sharing site.
Sure, the pro photographers will always have some complaints–you can't satisfy everyone, but the site certainly has shown it listens to the people (which failure to do so has cost many other photo sites), and I am sure they will iron out some of these minor appearance issues in the weeks to come.
April 27, 2012 at 10:42 pm
One small correction–I meant to address your concern over the "i only want to see one picture" from a keyword in the photo search instead of "all" of the pictures from that gallery. I understand your point, but think about though–your keyword query IS a keyword tag for EVERY picture in that gallery. Isn't that what you are intending to do in the first place? Chances are high your keyword is going to apply to most, if not all, of the photos in that gallery. So why not show all the pictures from the album? Picture tagging could be done (maybe smugmug already does this, i don't know), but still, my belief is people search galleries a lot more than photos.
April 26, 2012 at 2:22 pm
Chris MacAskill :
Hey Scott,
Can I call you?
Absolutely, email sent!
April 28, 2012 at 2:31 am
I was about to add my thanks for the wonderful additions to the new search facility – including finally being able to sort the galleries by date added as well as the photos. A great enhancement!! Now I find the whole new search facility is suddenly gone and we have gone back to the old system!! Or is it just me? Very disappointed – is this only temporary – at least I hope so!!
April 28, 2012 at 10:50 am
Hey Carmen, I never thought I'd say this to anyone… please try to edit your comments just a bit.
I just went to do a search to clarify the point you're making regarding my point from above, #3, and noticed that the search engine has been reset. Taken as a stand alone comment, you're right but I was mostly referring to the fact that there were galleries being omitted with the new search features… so, I'd be clicking on the photos in the photo section that weren't being brought up in the gallery section.
If my point was not clear: many photos were being omitted from some of the search options and if the search options can't be relied upon… maybe there is a way to have just one photo shown from each gallery with such a search term (like it is now under old system?) and maybe just one photo from each photographer so I'm not opening up multiple tabs from the same photographer.
Under the old system (that is currently up now?), I like the spacing between photographs and the photographs being shown as originals instead of the square crop. By the way, the photographers chose to have their photos shown as original size (not the square crop) in 20 out of the first 30 galleries in one of my search terms. With 5666 galleries to check, you can start to see why having one gallery per photographer shown would be nice.
Adding a roll-over enlarge photo would be cool too.
The new style wasn't an enlarge feature… it was just a roll-over feature to see the whole photo instead of the taken out of context square crop. As long as what someone is looking for is in the the middle section… most people will be happy. But being overwhelmed with photos in a search… similar photos will get overlooked and quickly scrolled over if what they are looking for is not in the square crop.
Some of the new search features on the left need more playing around with to get right and if Baldy knew they weren't right then I was stating the obvious.
One feature I'm not sure I like though: being able to search for photos by those that are trying to sell photos and by those who aren't. (This was possible, wasn't it?) Just the idea of people being able to quickly omit my photos for viewing might be a bad precedent: "Hey guys, why pay for photos when they are free over here?"
April 28, 2012 at 3:59 pm
Well it was fun while it lasted…(a whole 7 days)…WHY DID THEY GO BACK TO THE OLD FORMAT? No more sort by date. Back to going through thousands of hits checking date stamps (half of which are missing). Jared, I'd respond to your comments but right now it's moot because Smugmug switched back it appears. Someone(s) must have really pissed them off and made them go back to the old format. Perhaps they went back to it while they Beta test a new search. Man, why did they do this? The new format was just great. The nitpicking details could easily have been ironed out over time. Majorly dissapointed, but I had the feeling this would happen.
Please Smugmug, if youre' going to keep the old format fine, but AT LEAST put a sorting by date feature back up with it.
Thanks for reading as always.

No worries, Carmen, it's just temporary while we implement some changes.
April 28, 2012 at 6:30 pm
Thank you Chris for quick response….Maybe it is best to just not crop the thumbs at all. Then there is no need to hover, but the tradeoff is you won't be able to fit as many thumbs in a row. The old page-by-page system certainly works, but the main issue with the search is that sorting by date has to be implemented to make the search useable. Newest-to-Oldest is fine, even though it is not a "true" sort by date, it is the second best and certainly functional way to handle it.
Perhaps consider keeping the old format Smugmug has always had, but add the sort by date feature. Pros seem to like the old format better, but the general public wants a cleaner interface with sorting options.

is there anyway to have the old search (currently up as of 4/29) and the nrew search for perople that perfer to choose ??

The new look is beautiful, but the infinite scroll is really frustrating if you want to continue a search from an earlier time. For example, if I searched for "kittens" and looked through hundreds of pictures, I used to be able to bookmark the page and come right back to resume the search from that point. Now, it's very hard to remember where you last left off, and it takes a frustratingly long time to get to it!
May 1, 2012 at 4:59 pm
We're working on the infinite scroll and returning to where you are when you hit the back button. Turns out that to do it the right way is hard and will take while. I wish I had a better answer for you.
May 2, 2012 at 10:41 am
I see the new search feature is up again for reviewing.
And I guess I won't be receiving a call or response from Baldy anytime soon. ;(
But here's more elaboration on something he may or may not know:
I entered a search term and clicked on photos on the toolbar on the left.
129 people, 5670 galleries & 244,311 photos can be searched.
Then I clicked on For Sale – Default pricing (a feature I think might be a bad idea).
93,158 photos can be searched even thought it says 93,163 on the left toolbar.
Then I clicked on each individual photographer (only 10 showing) individually and only one photographer is attributed to 1578 photos (but it says 1580 on the left toolbar). What about the other 90,000+?
Conclusion: there are photographers missing from this list. I can only make sure my name shows up on its respective list… but if I'm looking for just opening up one browser tab per photographer when I'm looking for a photo… some photographers are SOL if they aren't in the top 10. Are we all now going to fight and slip some cash under your door to be listed in the top 10?
May 2, 2012 at 4:25 pm
If You use Opera, you simply right click on the thunb, choose "open in new tab", and it will open the gallery right next to it in a new tab. Then you don't lose your place in the search because you did not click on the picture. It's still there in that tab. I don't know about other browsers but they all should allow "open in new tab" somewhere…I only use Opera because it is the best. I sugguet downloading Opena and you problem will be solved.

So there is no need to have figure out a way (for Chris) to figure out how to "return"…you don't have to if you just open it in a new tab. I dont even know if they could implement a "Return" because there really is no place markers on the new design.
May 2, 2012 at 4:55 pm
Thank you for your answer, but my problem is not solved by opening in a new tab. I'm talking about bookmarking a spot in the search, so that you can close the browser and return to that spot later.
May 2, 2012 at 7:00 pm
You are right, it won't work if your turn off your computer or something….but my suggestion is still to just go through everything, open each gallery in a new tab, and bookmark those tabs. So you are just bookmarking each gallery and you can then not worry about the search. However if you absolutely must leave and resume your search later do this: simply write down the name if that last gallery thumb before you leave, then you can VERY easily turn off your PC, come back on later, re-enter that search, and just scroll down uniil you get to the album thumb you left off on which you wrote down.. It goes fast—maybe 10 seconds of scrolling down and you will get to your thumb where your left off. In other words, you're doing the bookmark yourself by writing it down, then going back to it later. It doesnt take long at all. Try it out..it works fine…

Just a follow-up from my perspective: Chris from SmugMug called me and was genuinely interested in real user feedback. I think we spoke for nearly a half hour about the new search engine, from what I gathered the SmugMug team is well aware of several of the above listed concerns and they too are desiring and working toward a solution. From what I've gathered-
1. Lose place in search when hit back button
2. Search results page erroneously stops growing
3. Search results grow too large for browser to efficiently handle (1500+ items)
4. Gallery search omits date info that old search provided
The above four items could be fixed by allowing a paginated search option. Let the user choose between a single expanding page or fixed number of results per page (like currently when viewing a gallery in "Thumbnails" style, there is a checkbox option of "Show thumbnails in a single page."
Other than that, I think some of the filters on the new search engine need to be ironed out a bit, and it would be awesome if the date filter was a range instead of the current 1 day, 1 week, 1 month.. old stuff.
Finally, about in regards to the square crop of photos issue: without doubt the square crop is more functional for most photos on the search results page. Square crop isn't always the best solution for displaying a gallery, but we're talking about search results page only here. That being said, as photographers we are forced to deal with some automated cropping issues to accommodate mobile devices and other sites like Facebook (new timeline format square crops). Since each gallery can have a single photo chosen to represent that gallery in the search results, I think it's best to select a photo that works for the square crop if this is an issue for you. That will not completely eliminate but will mitigate some of the concerns about square cropping, and seems a reasonable compromise. It's not like panoramic photos looked that great as thumbnails in the old search anyhow!
Thanks SM for listening!
May 2, 2012 at 8:20 pm
Another thing that would be cool to search by would be color. Google has this in place for image search.
May 2, 2012 at 10:41 pm
My opinions on your post…
1) You don't need to hit the back button on your search. You can open the gallery in a new tab and the search index remains where you are. There is no need to use a place holder and I dont think it could be done without returning to pagaination. Whatever browser people are using, simply right click over that thumb, then select open in new tab. I use Opera and whole heartedly recommend it above ALL other browsers.
2) I have done more checking on the gallery search. I am seeing good consistency between gallery order and their tag dates. There does not seem to be any errors I can find. What is the definition of "erroneous growing?" That's simply normal traffic. Of course I can't prove every gallery is getting in the index, but based on the HUGE amount of new albums being added, odds are they ARE all getting in there. What's even better is that the search NOW RETURNS all albums even if they weren't date stamped…that used to be a problem. AND NOW IT DOES RESULTS IN REAL-TIME, which is great, because there is no "when is the next update???" or "why do you erase the new pictures after 24 hours??" questions that has led to the downfall of many other photo sharing websites.
3) Yes, the results do grow too large. I can understand that as an argument for pagination. However, once you go through that initial "headache blast" as I call it, you never have to do it again, because of the newest first option. If you keep up with your keywords from time to time, you will never have to scroll more than maybe 10 rows down or something at most(Depedning on how popular that keyword is of course).
4) Gallery search shows the date if you open it and, yes, you would have to go through the hoop of clicking on the owner's category to see the date stamp, which is a minor annoyance. HOWEVER there really is no need to see the date stamps if you can sort by date–simply remember or write down the "Caption" that is on that gallery thumbnail. Next time you do a search for the same word, you just go down to that caption. No need for a date stamp on each thumbnail (and in the old format, 1/2 of the galleries had their stamps missing, so what is really the difference now?) A date means nothing if you think about it. It is only necessary as a server stamp so it can effectively return hits newest first.
5) However I do agree with you on PHOTO search…the "last day" "last week" thing is confusing. I wonder why they just don't apply the same "newest first" filter to the photo search like they have to the gallery search. Maybe they will. Even if they don't, at least there is still SOME way to know what pictures are recent (talking about photo search, not gallery). And that's a ton better than it was before, when you had no idea at all.
BOTTOM LINE: Whatever Smugmug does to improve the site for the hardcore photo users, I think that is fine, but whatever they do, PLEASE do NOT remove sorting by date option. Whether they revert to pagination or keep the new format, whether they crop or de-crop, whether we can sort by a color or picture size (details most people don't care about), those things are pettty compared to the A #1 priority of having a useable ordered database of photos that is updated in real time. Lack of that has been the downfall of every photo sharing site that has died, where they stopped listeing to the people, accumulated a huge database of pictures, but implemented retarded sorting mechanisms, picture return limits, "index updates", "clean out everything but yesterday's photos", you all know what they've done to ruin themselves.
This site though is doing everything right so far. They will iron out the issues for the pros I am sure in time..keep up the good work smugmug people and thanks for listening

I get the impression you think of SmugMug as a place to share and get free photos… and will surely perish if it doesn't keep or improve a sort by date search.
Sorting of date could be done with the old pagination. Start from page 1 or start from the last page.
The more I play with the new search engine, the more problems I see with it that have nothing to do with sorting by page, scrolling or the hatchet job on widescreen photos.
Eventually after fixing the many bugs (some not even mentioned yet) of the new search system, why not have the best of both worlds?
Keep the old style for searching an individual's site and the new system when starting a search of all SmugMug sites.
May 12, 2012 at 12:10 pm
Love the new search. What would be great for me is if I can set up a search for visitors to search JUST within my own galleries.
May 20, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Endless scrolling is quite buggy, it stops scrolling many times when reaching bottom of the page (I have to scroll up with browser scroll bar, and scroll back down). I think for general public the new search is quite good, but for professionals, endless scrolling needs to be on/off option. Good example of excellent image searching is http://www.corbisimages.com/ All the filters, results and sorting are availible in straight forward UI.
May 26, 2012 at 11:13 am
So, what's the latest with the new search engine? Are the bugs fixed or are you going to tell us how we can best go through our sites and spend countless hours to clean them up to adapt to the new search engine? What about photos I'm working on now or are you just going to wait for us to upload more images and then spend time fixing them later?
Oh how I wish Baldy would have replied, called or let us know what's going on. Oh well, here you go for starters.
There are three major problems (in no particular order):
1) Scrolling… it just bugs the heck out of me (and reminds me of scrolling on Facebook looking for someone). When will the scrolling end? I have no idea. If it was just a normal 10-page search result, I'd probably look at all 10 pages. Otherwise, I get annoyed quicker and well, sorry all you people on page four through ten… I won't be looking at your photos. I guess you didn't pay extra to get your photos to show up in the first three pages of (scrolling).
2) Looking for a particular photographer that you know shoots a particular subject? If you can't remember his name…(the glitches are being ignored? because) you can no longer search by photographers. I pity the person that has to scroll through the 1000 photos I just uploaded.. hoping to find a different photographer besides me… that is, if they know I won't show up in the people section or gallery section.
3) Search words. Extremely recently, I inquired about singular words versus plural words to put in my site as keywords (before the new search engine came out). To paraphrase and give a different example… "if you want someone to find "baseballs" then you need to put "baseballs" as one of your keywords. If you want someone to find "baseball" then you need to put "baseball." On the off-chance you don't know what someone will search for, you should add both keywords to your photo.
— I'd love a simpler keyword list. Only having to put in the plural word will do that and save time. Should I be cleaning up all of my old keywords? What about new photos? Is there still a need for phrases and having the individual words?
I'm kind of annoyed that only my photos show up in the photo section. I have a whole sub-category with the words I'm searching for but because I didn't use those words in the gallery title (or gallery description? to make my site more cluttered), my photos won't show up in the gallery section. Will you be expanding the search engine somehow? Photographer section (extremely needed with improvements)? Sub-category or category section? Or will those titles be included in the gallery section searches, somehow? Perhaps hidden keywords for gallery titles.
Please advise. I'm hoping to not re-do everything.
June 11, 2012 at 2:14 pm
can this search functionality be applied to user sites?
July 15, 2012 at 10:32 am
Good morning….
Would love to have this search box available to my clients. What is the status please.
October 24, 2012 at 2:45 pm
They "Googled" the image search. I hate Google's image search format.
When it comes to the Internet, I am seekingh efficiency in navigation. There are websites that provide "sexy" for people seeking such things.
Tab switching takes fifty years with all those images on one page.
It is not good for old computers. It is not good for low ram computers. It is not good for low bandwidth conections.
It's Google-pimping.
June 3, 2014 at 1:34 pm
I really dislike the new search – makes it difficult to find anything. Any way to keep the old search while adding the new one?

In today's issue
Hayden Panettiere gets musical
The TV star overcomes stage fright as she plays country star Juliette Barnes in the series Nashville
- Image Credit: AP
- Panettiere, with Connie Britton, in Nashville. Last week , she earned a Golden Globe nomination for best performance by a television actress in a supporting role.
While Hayden Panettiere is pretending to be a country music singer on TV, she's learning how to be one in real life.
The 23-year-old actress plays ambitious country star Juliette Barnes on the hit ABC show "Nashville" . Her character has performed on the Grand Ole Opry, dealt with the demands of a record label executive, written songs and tracked vocals in a recording studio.
"The show, I feel like, is an amazing second step for me because I love music and I've always had such terrible stage fright," said Panettiere, who recently earned a Golden Globe nomination for best performance by a television actress in a supporting role.
"This has been kind of the in between because I get to go out there during scenes with a crowd full of people and pretend like I'm performing onstage, and I'm actually performing a live show," she continued. "It's one thing when you put yourself out there [as a solo artist], it's another thing when you're playing a character. ... Beyonce has her alter ego [Sasha Fierce], and people create these alter egos because it seems like a little bit more protection when you put yourself out there for all to see."
Her confidence as a singer is growing, as is her credibility. She sings all of her own songs in the show, some of which are featured on the "Nashville" soundtrack, released last week. Big Machine Records put out her song "Telescope" as the show's first official single, and it's a Top 40 hit on the Billboard country songs chart.
The former "Heroes" actress has dabbled in music before, performing tracks for various Disney films and releasing the pop single "Wake Up Call" in 2008, which failed to chart. A full album was never released.
She says doing the show is teaching her about the music industry, and that getting a warm response from the Music City community is encouraging.
"There's no cooler feeling than someone coming up to you from Nashville ... and going, 'Thank you for portraying us in such a great light, in such an honest light, because people who are not from the South have this image and this idea,'" she said.
The show boasts Grammy-winning musician and producer T Bone Burnett as its executive music producer and an accomplished cast, including co-star Connie Britton who also earned a Golden Globes nomination for best performance by an actress in a television series drama.
"There are no words to describe this, either I'm going to start tearing up or I'm going to make more grilled cheese," Panettiere said just hours after she found out about the nominations. "It's so amazing, because we had such high hopes and sometimes you feel like things are too good to be true, and I felt like the show was everything that I dreamt of as an actor and as a musician."
Panettiere says hearing her song on the radio for the first time is a moment she'll always remember. She had just hopped into her car on a crisp, fall day with her best friend sitting shotgun. She turned the key, and her name popped up on the dashboard.
"I just bugged out," she said. "I couldn't believe it. I was trying to take pictures at the same time. But it's surreal. ... There are no words to describe how special and exciting that moment is. And nerve-wracking, too, very nerve-wracking."

Doral Arrowwood Hotel Expands Energy Agreement To Include Cooling
WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- American DG Energy Inc. (NYSE MKT: ADGE), a leading On‑Site Utility, offering clean electricity, heat, hot water and cooling solutions to hospitality, healthcare, housing and athletic facilities, today announced that it has reached an agreement to provide chilled water to Doral Arrowwood Hotel and Conference Center to cool the property from two 450-ton chillers. The highly efficient cooling systems will be owned and operated by American DG Energy. The chillers are in addition to the 375 kW of combined heat and power (CHP) systems operating at the property since 2011 that are owned and operated by American DG Energy that provide electricity, heat and hot water.
Doral Arrowwood, a premier hotel and conference center near White Plains, NY, needed to replace its central plant cooling systems. Utilizing American DG Energy's On-Site Utility energy solution, they were able to avoid the capital expenditures they were about to face and they were seeking a single company to perform all aspects of the project. Doral Arrowwood will only pay for the energy produced by the chillers and avoid all capital, installation and operating costs of the systems. To date, the Doral Arrowwood chiller will be the largest chiller plant owned by American DG Energy at one location.
On-Site Utility American DG Energy sells the energy produced from an onsite energy system to an individual property as an alternative to the outright sale of energy equipment. On-Site Utility customers only pay for the energy produced by the system and receive a guaranteed discount rate on the price of the energy. All system capital, installation and operating expenses are paid by American DG Energy.
About American DG Energy American DG Energy supplies low-cost energy to its customers through distributed power generating systems.

Home > News > Womens Wellness > 2013 > May 2013 > Introducing Solid Food to Babies: Making Sense of the Confusion
To introduce solid food to your baby, or not to? That is the question, thanks to a new set of recommendations recently released by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Since the 1950s, doctors have flip-flopped on when that milestone moment of giving a young baby solid food should occur. During the baby boom era, experts were singing an entirely different tune when it came to infant nutrition. Their advice on when to start introducing solid food? At four to five weeks! Doctors back then were also big advocates of formula, since they thought the manmade baby beverage was safer and more nutritious than breast milk. But they were wrong.
Jump ahead 40 years later to the 1990s, and you might recall that the recommendation was to not feed babies solid food until they were nine months old. Five weeks to nine months is quite a difference.
And when you bring foods that commonly cause allergic reactions, medical advice seems even more confusing. Should you expose a young infant to eggs and peanut butter or wait until a certain age? It's difficult enough trying to figure out when it's time to give your baby Cheerios, let alone something your little one might potentially be allergic to.
But we're here to offer some clarity and share with you the latest findings to help put your mind at ease when trying to figure out your way around these ever-changing guidelines.
Today, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants should only be breastfed for the first six months. No formula. No baby cereal. No mashed up fruits or veggies from a jar. And while you should continue breast-feeding for at least a year, you can start introducing solid foods to your baby when he's four to six months old.
In addition to age, look for other signs that he's ready to upgrade to baby cereal. Does he weigh 13 pounds or more? Can he hold his head up and sit in a high chair? Does he open his mouth when you're sending food his way? If the answer is yes, then it's time. If not, you might want to continue breastfeeding for a little longer, or ease the transition by diluting solid food with breast milk.
It should also be noted that babies who were introduced to solid food before they were four months old were more likely to be obese at age three. So even if your personal beliefs may differ from the AAP's advice, consider how proper nutrition habits start from the very beginning.
The number-one tip from doctors to prevent food allergies is breastfeeding, which provides your baby with essential nutrients and antigens to aid the development of his immune system and overall health.
The next tip? Allow your baby to eat allergenic foods before he's a year old. But do take precaution: these foods should not be part of the first solid foods your baby consumes, and pay attention to any signs of an allergic reaction, such as rashes or episodes of diarrhea that occur after eating.

More Pesticides Linked to Parkinson's Risk
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers say they've identified a number of common pesticides that increase the risk of Parkinson's disease, and that they've also discovered that people's genes can affect their level of risk.
In a previous study, the University of California, Los Angeles team found that exposure to a banned pesticide called benomyl increases the risk of Parkinson's. In this new study, the researchers said they identified 11 other pesticides that increase that risk.
The pesticides inhibit an enzyme called "aldehyde dehydrogenase" (ALDH). It converts compounds called aldehydes -- which are highly toxic to brain cells that produce a chemical called dopamine -- into less harmful compounds.
A lack of dopamine causes the tremors, limb stiffness and loss of balance experienced by people with Parkinson's disease, according to the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
The UCLA researchers also found that people with a common variant of the ALDH2 gene are particularly vulnerable to these ALDH-inhibiting pesticides, according to a university news release. People with the variant are two to six times more likely to develop Parkinson's than those without the variant when exposed to the pesticides.
The levels at which the pesticides inhibit ALDH are much lower than those at which they are currently used, according to the study in the Feb. 5 online issue of the journal Neurology.
It included 360 people with Parkinson's and 816 people without the disease who lived in three central California counties with high levels of agricultural production.
"We were very surprised that so many pesticides inhibited ALDH and at quite low concentrations, concentrations that were way below what was needed for the pesticides to do their job," study author Jeff Bronstein, a professor of neurology and director of movement disorders at UCLA, said in the news release.
"These pesticides are pretty ubiquitous, and can be found in our food supply and are used in parks and golf courses and in pest control inside buildings and homes. So, this significantly broadens the number of people at risk," he added.
Although the study found an association between exposure to certain pesticides and higher risk of Parkinson's disease, it did not establish a cause-and-effect relationship.

Ordering for a Team?
Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
Adjusts easily. Keeps water out without being too tight.
I have been using Barracuda Ultimate goggles for years. As others have stated, these goggles do not make your eyes look puffy after swimming. I was disappointed with Swiimoutlet yesterday when I tried to order another pair for a friend because they did not have the clear lens goggles - only blue and some kind of yellow tinted lens. If they do not have them again within a week, I will look at other swim sites for them. They are great goggles and I swim everyday.
Barracuda googles are the most underated googles out there! They don't cause raccoon eyes and are great fro long practice. No migranes from too tight a fit and leave no wrinkles or google marks and have great feel.Their Hydro Bat googles are great for Competition racing!!
My go-to goggles for many years. I have a narrow face and they fit me better than any other goggle I have tried (and I have tried many), sealing well while remaining comfortable for endurance swim sessions.
They fog up much less than any other goggles I have owned. They are more comfortable than any other goggles I have owned. They seem to last longer than any other goggles I have owned.
Most comfortable goggles that I've ever worn. Crystal clear - great in bright sunshine. Seals great - no water gets in. Stays in place.
I use these goggles for triathlon training and racing. NO OTHER has ever been as comfortable and leak proof as these have been. Very reliable when in a race. The only downside is that the nose bridge wears and cracks too quickly but it is worth it for the comfort factor as far as I am concerned.
Great fit. Comfortable. No leaking. I LOVE these goggles and have recommended them to many of my fellow swimmers.
These are great goggles. Comfortable. Don't fog. Don't leak. Don't have to have them tight. However I bought them to prevent getting 'racoon' eyes . Admittedly, the marks are not as bad as my other goggles but I still get marks -especially under my eyes. :-(
I have worn these goggles for many years. I have a small face and they fit me really well. I don't have to suction them onto my face super hard (like I have had to do with other goggles I have tried in the past) to keep them from leaking. Thus, they don't leave major goggle lines.
Get an alert when we add new styles of Barracuda! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.

Got my +2. Might be worth a name drop for such an oversight - to speed up the tracking - ahem, @PhilNeal
I have to admit, this one caused the air to turn blue in my office this morning. After spending about an hour updating the Pupil Premium indicator field ready to add in to marksheets, I came to export my marksheets (our staff are still insisting on paper copies - I know, I know!) via the usual routine (Tools > Performance > Assessment > Utilities > Marksheets) only to realise that although you can add the Pupil Premium field to templates and makrsheets manually, it's not available as an option via this routine.
Please, vote my change request up, it seems like an oversight rather than intended functionality to me: 1309-1212434
Got my +2. Might be worth a name drop for such an oversight - to speed up the tracking - ahem, @PhilNeal
LosOjos (9th September 2013)
I'm not sure that I should encourage the use of paper
Just upgraded to 7.159 - still not fixed. Come one, this has to be an easy one, right?!
I come back to my original point - why encourage the use of paper? As soon as anything goes onto paper it is out of date.
winng (23rd July 2014)
So you'll be removing the marksheet export routine in 4 years then
MattMitchell (23rd July 2014)
Will it be there in the next gen? Probably not!
Our teachers still have planners and this is what I use the export for, there's no sign of that changing in the near future.
The thinking that "we know best", counter to the actual demands of users is one reason why people get so frustrated with computers in the first place!
I'd say this is a driver for us to make things simpler.
Schools cannot run effectively or efficiently on paper. We will try harder.
