Flickr: More Search 0.9

 
Searching in the flickr photos is always long and difficult. The new Flickr gamma allows you to search in one of your contact at a time for photos. But why not all your contacts at a time, or your friends.
29 May 2006, by Mortimer

This is why I started implementing a new GreaseMonkey script to add these features to the search page and finished with a few other features.

1Installation

  1. Get Firefox
  2. Install GreaseMonkey
  3. restart Firefox
  4. If you liked the script, think about helping me back and consider a small donation, click the paypal button on the right.
  5. Click on the following icon and select "Install"

2In the search page

Flickr more search v0.3

  • remembers if you prefer to view the search results as thumbnails or details,
  • adds a link to the feed of your search [1] so you can subscribe to a specific search,
  • search only in all your contacts’ photos,
  • search only in your friends’ photos,
  • search only in your family’s photos.

3In any user or groups page

Limit the search

The script introduces a new checkbox to limit the quick search to the current user or the current group. [2]

4In the advanced search page

More search in the advanced search page

The script adds the "who" dropdown menu [3], so you can limit the search to a particular contact or your photos.

Remark: We can also see in that photo that you can now select (and this in any pages) what to do the quick search on: photos, groups or people.

notes

[1] when possible

[2] This is the only way to search in the pool of a group you are not the member of, or the stream of a user who is not in your contacts.

[3] The same that is present in the simple search page by default.

Make a Donation

No donation has been made for this project yet.

Donation don't have to be big to make a difference. I already received donations ranging from 0.50£ to 10£ and all of them made me happy. Think of it, if the thousand users of these tools made a small donation, it would not make a big difference to them, but it would to me.

You will probably enjoy using what you download from this website and if so, you can decide to make a donation. Making a donation is optional but will help to develop new tools and support the existing code.

All the software, scripts and other tools distributed on this web site are distributed under open source licenses and are available to download for free. Making the code free and available to all doesn't means it's of lower quality. The tools provided here are fully functional and their author invested some of his personal time to develop them and provide support to their users.

Think about it.

 

P.S.

Current limitation:

  • the search for your contacts/family/friends photo is only done on the last photos they posted, so there will always be only one page of results and these results do not represent all the photos matching the query
