We’ve finally reinstated the member search feature after a few months absence. The new service can be accessed from the Community menu. A search can be conducted for artist name, town, country or ID number.

At the same time we’ve linked up picture search, so now you can also search image tags to find similar pictures. Tags on profile pages have also been linked in to the search function, so remember to start adding tags to any images you create!

This is a really powerful feature, which I spent some time tweaking to get just right! The old search beta suffered from some performance issues, and often put a strain on the server - but the new version should deliver results in a flash. Use the link below....

I have been using this feature to get some great results from the search engine. The image tags are great, and we should all tag our images to make this a really valuable asset for the OMM, and consolidate the Web-2.0 position of the online project. So thanks for the work on this feature :) Tagging your image will also give it greater exposure to the OMM community and I also secretly think could give it that extra chance of being included in the 2008 calendar if it tagged and findable by the OMM staff :) just a thought.

OMM admins can now tag any pics themselves - just to let you all know...

I have just added tags to a few images around the site. It seems to be working well. I do have a question though. If an admin were to add a tag with a mis-spelling is there a way to edit the tag once set?
