Cool more defined gallery search

am I the only member having a problem with a more defined gallery search?
Even when using the more advanced search, there are a ton of cards that don't even refer to the search. Just tried today, a search for "faux suede"
that seems quite simplified, yet, there are so many cards that don't even refer to this search. Will we ever get a better search within the gallery

I got these:
Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

What happens when you search for faux and suede (and by using the | character it gives you only results with faux *and* suede only), it returns anything that had those words anywhere in the description and supplies. So, if someone used soft suede the ink or color, it would pick that up. Frustrating, I know!

How about this?

I did a keyword only search. Does that help?

amazingly well done, so definied now. But confused, what is that character you are showing above, on a computer keyboard, and where in the search entry do you insert that character? a definite inquiring mind needs to know.....Learn something new on this site everyday...

It is above the \ on my keyboard. You put it in between the words with a space either side (at least that's what Jenn did in the link she gave above.

Thanks for the tip, Jenn. I sometimes find it frustrating doing a 2 word search so this is invaluable.

I would love to be able to "plug-in" simple card suggestions to get ideas for instance, I have to create (5) Sympathy cards...I plugged in the word "sympathy" and it was a no show...I know there must be at least 7,000 wonderfully unique and different meaningful cards on here...but some fall under catagories: birthday, congrats, wedding, anniversary, sympathy, hello, etc...Any suggestions where to look for this?

if I understand your question Susanne, you might try the Occasions page in the gallery:
Occasions Galleries at Splitcoaststampers

you'll find listings there of galleries by occasion and theme, Sympathy among them. does that help?

Oooooh, Jenn, were you reading our minds? We were just having a discussion over in general stamping about how nice it would be if you could search only the keywords-what is the magic trick?
