Oh, I think I just found it:
https://alexrabe.de/2010/01/13/search-for-images/
Had to google on “nggsearch.php” to find it – for some reason Alex seems to have a whole lot of stuff on his site that I never find by going straight to the site, I always just stumble across stuff by googling.

I looked at that one, but it sounds like it just lets you search your galleries in the admin screen to find a particular gallery – I’m wanting something that will search on the image tags and display the images that have a particular tag.

Can someone please tell me where you get this NextGen Search Engine? I’ve seen quite a few posts about it, but can’t find any reference to it either by searching www.ads-software.com or Google. It sounds like just what I’m looking for. Where is it????

I’ve tried both of these plugins and am having trouble with both.

1. The Multi-Level Navigation Plugin worked fine locally, but when I put it on the live site, none of the jQuery effects worked. The files were all in place, and the paths to them appear to be right, but they just don’t work.

2. In searching for an answer I found this thread and thought I should try the Menu Plugin if the other is about to be discontinued. But I have loaded that one up locally and the jQuery effects won’t even work locally on this one. From what I can see when I view source, it doesn’t seem to be putting the paths to the files into my header

3. There are inconsistent instructions for installing the Menu Plugin – on the WordPress site plugin page, it says to add “<?php wp_page_menu(); ?>” where you want the menu, but in the Help section on the plugin’s admin page in the WP admin area, it says to add “<?php if (function_exists(‘pixopoint_menu’)) {pixopoint_menu();}; ?>”
Which is it?

Clarification and/or advice appreciated. I can’t believe how difficult I am finding it to put a dropdown menu on my site.
