use a fixed keyword set in search

(1/3) > >>

My gallery application, http://clemsonphotos.org/coppermine (version 1.5 RC, guest access allowed), was developed using a fixed set of keywords available for each photograph.  When searching, it would be convenient to display a fixed set of keywords (a controlled vocabulary) that users could combine when searching.  Is this something that can reasonably be done by modifying code?  If so, how should I proceed?

Please read the documentation before asking questions: Documentation → Configuration → General settings → Enable clickable keywords in search

I read the documentation, including enabling clickable keywords.  I have an existing set of keywords, already applied to the files before  uploading.  I do not want to be able to search for a single keyword (which is what clickable keywords does, among other things).  I want to display a set of keywords that are constructed not by extracting them from uploaded file keywords, but from a fixed, static list.  Users could then enter these keywords, in combinations and to combine with other text, in the search dialog.  Searching for a single keyword is not helpful with my application, as it will return too many hits.

You can use this plugin hook to modify the search page.

Thanks, Andre.  I am very new to this software, and to php, so I will think long and hard before trying this approach.  At first glance, it looks like I could replace the search page with this, and that might turn out to be what I need.  But, simpler approaches first.

I do appreciate the pointer to where I might productively add code.  That is one of the challenges for me, knowing where I need to look.
