So, I guess I'm curious if flexibility to search for additional minerals in the header is planned to be incorporated into the site at some point, or if I'm just not searching in the best way? As these additional minerals are already linked to their respective species home-pages, it doesn't seem to be an insurmountable issue (to my naïve computer programming sensibilities, at least... I may be wrong). I don't want to upload a given photo multiple times just to re-order the mineral list, since that doesn't seem very efficient, and it probably would waste a lot of server space too.
The photo library search offers a way around this issue, but as the photo order seems a bit perplexing, going through the photos to find all the examples from a particular locality isn't easy. I inquire about this in part from a petrologic sense, in that users might be missing out on finding photos (and perhaps discovering mineral associations that may not be obvious from simply the mineral list on the locality page), because the mineral they're interested in isn't listed first in a photo's header (as it may be subordinate to the showy featured crystal the photographer wanted to highlight).
EDIT: oops, I see others have brought up this issue on another thread, and that it's being looked at. So, I guess this post is just adding my voice to the mix.
