Limiting Search Results to Albums only

Hello
I am using Backlight's default search capability and wonder if there is a way to only show image results. I have quite a few "Album" results listed before the images causing a lot of scrolling to get to the "Photo" results.

Can I limit search results to images only?
Thanks
Jeanne

You can hide the album results with custom css

Thanks Rod
That worked but have one more question. When the search returns more than one page, when clicking next on the photo images, the last page displays a black box with symbols similar to "next clip" on a video. When I click it takes me to the backlight admin login page. Is there a setting I missed?
Thanks again
Jeanne

Hi Jeanne, that’s a bug that we need to fix. The link should be going to /?page=2 and not /index.php?page=2

Re: Limiting Search Results to Albums only

Thanks - can you let me know when it's updated?
I appreciate the quick responses. 

Also - Looks like I'll use this time to remove the Adobe Muse front end and run with the backlight home page. Is there a document to recap the steps?
Stay well.

Re: Limiting Search Results to Albums only

If you’re going to use a Backlight Page as your home Page, you’ll need to upload the index.php and .htaccess files from the root of the unzipped Backlight-2-Installer-xxx folder.

In Backlight, create a new page and name it Home. Set it as the index page.

If you have more questions about creating a home page, could you start a new topic?
