That did it Sayontan.

Thanks

Ok, I’ll try that. Many thanks.

Thanks for the speedy response Sayontan,

clicking on the Album thumbnail now creates a popup in a mozaic-like layout but
1. the popped-up images are displayed BEHIND the existing Album thumnails
2. attempting to click on an individual popped-up image is actually causing whatever Album is in front of it to be ‘popped’ adding to the confusion.

See https://cualagaa.ie/gallery/

Any ideas?

Aha!

I have 200+ Albums.

I can see now that
1. the Search box is ‘looking’ at the Album set that’s currently displayed
2. by loading more, the search term is applied to a greater population of Albums.

Its really fast – offering instant displays of those Albums whose Titles contain the search term. This is an impressive feature. It means (for me) that by naming my Google Albums consistently and including key words (which I’ve already done), I can filter different selections of Albums for display on different pages.

Thank you so much for your responsiveness and advice.

The underlying images (about events in 2017 & later uploaded by many volunteers) may
– have been uploaded to Google in 2018
– have been processed and output as new images in a later year
– contain images of 2017 events but with bad dates due to mis-configued cameras)
So date of image is actually unreliable
(I realise my initial query was about selecting dates; I would have compromised)

I’ve got around this by ensuring the albums contain a Title beginning “2017 . . . ” regardless of Image metadata or date uploaded

I’d like to manually select albums with names starting with (or even containing) “2017” but search box returns a blank on “2017”.

Oh Oh!
Selecting specific Albums is offered but unfortunately, the Titles of the Albums are not displayed, making it very difficult to be sure of selecting the correct ones.

M.

Many thanks for the speedy response.

I had been hoping that I could display selected Albums by their creation date but I now understand Filtering by Dates can only be applied to Images.

However, I see an alternative option. Since my Albums all contain images of similar dates, I can use the option to display Multiple Albums and be selective about the particular Albums I chose to display.

Thanks again and good luck with your work.
