Hi

Well, yes, is possible.
[ul]
[li]with [tt]XMLHttpRequest[/tt] objects download all the HTML documents which are part of the gallery[/li]
[li]parse the HTML documents and extract the [tt]img[/tt] tags and maybe related descriptions[/li]
[li]search through the extracted data and display the result[/li]
[/ul]
Sounds bad, but in fact will not be so brutally slow, because you will download only HTML documents without related images, styles and scripts.

But I think you already drawn the conclusion : better do it on server side.

Why not look at integrating something like Google Search into your pages?

You are then using the power of Google's indexing algorithms to search your own site.
