Hey Jake, firstly - thanks for your compliments! (:
About my project - it was mostly a personal thing and unfortunately, I got busy with something else so never got the opportunity to make that thing. However I did look up the Velo forum, ( www.wix.com/velo/forum ) and after reading the posts of a couple of users, I guess it is possible to add a search bar to your gallery (though they didn’t exactly mention how they did it 
), and also to remember member choices - using the .contains function and the Wix Storage API respectively. As far as I know, there isn’t any no-code feature that lets you do this, but if you can write some code, then it should definitely be achievable and the Velo community members will surely help you out if you get stuck at some point!
