Wallpaper search?

Dear all, Not that is matters, but I just noticed something strange. How does the Wallpaper Search work? I have a picture in my Gallery called "Snow" but when I search for snow in the wallpaper search, you won't find it. Why?

I know nothing about how the search engine works, but my guess is that it doesn't recognies the word because you have the "..." attached to the end. Try putting in a space between the word and the dots and see if that fixes it.

Samatar, I searched for "snow..." and there was no result. After this, I put a space between snow and ..., searched for "snow" and still no snow :-)

I think that the search function only finds the first 'x' number of images. I believe that it searches not just title, but description and comments (but I could be wrong).

I don't tend to use the search facility much, but when I do the results seem very puzzling. Perhaps the great Caedes will be able to shed some light upon this issue.

The search engine only updates it's database every 100 or sort searches, so new images are going to be in it initially. It's not as powerfull as a Google search by any means, it just adds up the number of instances of your search term and then orders the images by that number. It only shows the first 50 results. If anyone would like to make a nice vector search engine then they are welcome to try =P
