No way to search in gallery by picture name?

[DulceSugar]

Hi everyone,

I just noticed I cant search for pictures by name when I go into the gallery. Is there a way to do this or an app that will allow me to search instead of scrolling thru all my pictures?

That feature have never occurred to me before... but that would be an easier solution to get to the pic(s) you need. I haven't heard or seen an app for that, perhaps there are other alternative to making this possible. Maybe someone have an idea???

You could probably go into your search settings and add your photo gallery. Then you should be able to search using the search key at the bottom of the screen. You wouldn't be in the gallery when you use it, but it should find your photos faster than just scrolling (especially if you have a lot of pictures).

If you get a file manager, like astro, you would then be able to perform the search you are talking about.....thats what I do when I'm looking for a pic in particular.

Thanks for a solution. Works. Android needs a native way to search photos.

Yep...Astro or ES File Explorer will hook you up.

astro and other file managers don't help when most of the pictures are actually on picasa, not the local storage. There should be a real way to search in the Gallery app.

Hi I'm facing the same problem. I tried to change the settings in Google search but there was no option to search the gallery. Pls help

You would think something simple like an image search would be standard. NO WAY!

Hi Max,
Looks interesting! Especially the pics of the Italian Alps!
My father was a Boeing Aeronautical Engineer, and when I was in high school (10th grade) he was asked by Boeing if he'd be interested in transferring to (Milan?) Italy – to help organize & improve his related engineering division at Boeing Italia. He & my mother were divorced, so my dad & I were pretty excited about moving to Italy— from 15 Miles East of Seattle WA.
Everyone at my school signed my 10th grade annual yearbook with inscriptions like: Have a blast in Italy! We'll miss you, it's so far-out that you'll be living & skiing in Italy! Have fun chasing all the Italian girls!.... blah, blah, blah, etc, etc.
As my parents had started me skiing when I was only 17 months (1 ½ yrs) old, and I was totally into alpine ski racing, having grown-up ski racing since I was around 6 yrs old. I even read FIS ski racing magazines in my classrooms...when I could get away with it.
Anyways, to make a boring story even longer, soon afterwards, early that summer, my father decided not to accept the Italy transfer. Rather, he decided, that his life was pretty-great the way it was; living outside of Seattle WA; were he was a Scratch golfer in the Boeing men's golf league, and loved golfing 2~3 times per week; was also in the Boeing men's bowling league; we had Llewellin English Setters (upland bird dogs), and we hunted upland birds (Grouse, Chukars, Hungarian Partridge, Pheasants, Quail &c), almost every weekend every Autumn, as well as bow hunting for Deer & Elk, and fly-fished all year long every year for Trout & Steelhead, and also Salmon fished frequently in Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Pacific ocean.
As he had always been a fervent outdoor sportsman—he even crafted his own hunting bows & arrows & fly-fishing rods &c—and had raised me to be the same.

But when I returned to school that September, some school-mates thought I had made the whole 'moving to Italy' story up.
I was so, so, so disappointed , and have always wondered what my life would've been like, and what course my life might've taken, if we had moved to Italy that year.
Would I have stayed there? Would I have trained with or joined the Italian Olympic Ski Team? Would I be living in an Italian or French or Swiss or Austrian Alp paradise right now?
So that's it; your beautiful pics made me reminisce and daydream for a few moments today. Thanks
And I will checkout your PhotoTag app. Thanks very much for posting about it.

P. S. – In the Play Store, it doesn't come up when you search 'Photo tag app', or 'Photo Tag'; and, there's another app, by SDG Systems, called 'Photo Tag - business cloud pics' . . . But your app does appear if you search 'phototag'.
