Hey @Auntietk -

I'd like to address some of the points you've made here:

• "It seems like they've added a date range to what was there before, but they've taken away the ability to search on a word and left us with only the ability to search for a specific artist." -- You can still do that. Do you think it should be in the same place as the new gallery search function?

Please view the screenshot below:

• "The calendar function is difficult to use. When I typed in a date using the mm/dd/yyyy format, it told me I had to enter a valid date. Additionally, typing in the date caused the page to refresh before I'd even hit enter. As an alternative, clicking on the calendar to search for something that's five years old means clicking the back arrow on the calendar 60 times. Tried it again, and it worked fine. Once more, and it didn't function properly. I realize reporting random results isn't helpful, and the programmers ALWAYS think it means I don't know what I'm doing, but I can only report what happened, I can't explain WHY it happened." -- When I manually typed in a random a date, it worked fine for me. So, when you typed it in manually, it just didn't work?

Please view the screenshot below:

• "I did a search with myself as the artist, gave it a date range and photography/portraits, and got what I asked for. When I took my name out and tried to search for ALL artists with photography/portraits in the same date range, it gave me only my gallery selection again, even though I left the artist's name blank." -- this will need to be looked into to fix.

• "I've done several searches, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I put in all the criteria, hit "filter by dates," and I get a random sampling of something (who knows?) and all the search fields are blank again, so I guess I'm supposed to start over? Only so many times I'm willing to screw around with this, and I reached my limit."-- Maybe you could give me a specific example of what you tried to search? A screenshot would help to see what you're seeing. Maybe you could explain a bit further about them being blank?

• "Showing 20,000 out of xxx,xxx number of images tells me nothing, and I'm not sure why that information is displayed. Perhaps others will find it more helpful." -- this is helpful to see how many images are in the gallery.

Thank you!
