If you want even more features and functionality, be sure to check out the <a href="http://codecanyon.net/item/nextgen-gallery-voting-premium/3307807?ref=shaunalberts" rel="nofollow ugc">Premium add-on</a>.

<h3>No Longer Supported</h3>
Please note: Due to some personal life circumstances, I was unable to provide the support level I wanted and this plugin stopped being updated awhile ago. 
Bringing this plugin up to date, and improving its usability are not feasible, so it will not be updated in the future.
<h4>New Replacement Plugin</h4>
I have released a replacement plugin that drastically simlifies the user experience, requiring no editing of templates, or code changes. 
I will be updating the new ratings plugin with features, and providing active support. Please check <a href="https://nextgen-gallery-ratings.shauno.co.za/" rel="nofollow ugc">it out here</a>.

An image search will be carried out across title, description, filename and tags (as configured per widget or shortcode) of all images in arbitary selectable NextGEN search galleries. There are two search modes available. The basic search mode will look for images which satisfy at least one of the search terms (logical or). The extended search mode will look for images which satisfy all search terms (logical and).
The search result list can be displayed in various ways.

<li>you can sort the search result list in various ways.</li>
<li>you can use paging for long search result lists.</li>
</ul>
You can enter search strings via widgets or shortcodes. You can use complex predefined searches to display an almost arbitrary collection of NextGEN Gallery images. You can dynamically switch the search mode or the display mode between searches. Searches can be configured differently for public users or for logged in (private) users.
