What You Get
Filter buttons show counts
File type selection buttons show live counts per category: Images 120, Videos 45, Audio 12. Visitors pick a type and search.
Drop the module anywhere
The module detects whether the visitor is on a gallery page and restricts the search to that gallery automatically. Off a gallery page, it searches the whole site.
Auto filter buttons for new file types
Supports images plus any custom file type from installed addons: Audio Files, Video Files, and any third-party file type plugin.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is Search & Filter free?
Yes. This module is free and does not require a subscription.
-
Can I restrict the search to one gallery?
Yes. When the visitor is already on a gallery page, the module automatically restricts the search to that gallery and its subcategories. On other pages, it searches site-wide.
-
Does it count videos and audio too?
Yes. Any file type addon installed (Audio Files, Video Files, or custom types) gets its own counter and filter button automatically.
