Plugin wish list – Image Search

0

Something I have always needed but cant seem to ever find is an app or plugin that can do an image search based on keywords. eg. you type in “monkey” and thumbnails of all the images tagged with monkey come up. Maybe there’s something in existence or a way to do this. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

    Gotta admit this is one of the reasons why my large install got that Google Mini. Has complete control over how the site gets indexed, doesn’t have to worry about domain mapping and it does images.

    Cost her high 4 figures but hey, it’s very nice.

    Right off, I;m not familiar with anything specific. One thing that comes to mind though is that wordpress stores images as Posts but instead calls them attachments within the post_type field of the posts database table.

    Maybe make a copy of the Post indexer plugin, run it along side the Post Indexer plugin if you have it installed already (You’ll have to rename the database table and the functions so not to ) but recode it to just pay attention to Posts that has the post_type of attachment instead of posts which I believe is how it works now.
