This doesn't actually increase the overall complexity that much. Tags are stored in rsmediagallery_ tags table along with their image reference id (item_id). You can simply have a separate search in this table and merge the results.
QuoteBut surely this is going to be very complicated as the tags for each picture are stored in a separate table? The search on a filename or description would be relatively easy as it is in the original file table, but the tag lookup would surely be quite complex?
QuoteYes, of course. The same principles apply.
