Let’s say I want to search for photos about the Empire State Building. On Flickr I would just type in this phrase in the Flickr search box.

With Slickr Flickr we use the text parameter and also specify id="" so the search looks across all of Flickr and not just my own Flickr account

So to find photos whose title, description or tag refers to the Empire State Building I use:

slickr-flickr text="Empire State Building" id="" items="10" type="gallery" descriptions="on"

  • New York: Empire State Building
  • New York: Empire State Building
  • New York: Empire State Building
  • “Sir Johns Bar & Grill” is one of NYC's favorite pubs . The food is so much more than just average “Bar Junk Stuff”. Making “Sir Johns Bar & Grill” a great place to grab a bite while you’re watching a game! So, come or contact us for reservations and private events in 18 West 33rd Street, New York, New York 10001, United StatesPhone: 646-308-1336 / Email: SirJohnsPublic@gmail.com

I included the description so you can see that some photos are picked based on the presence of the search phrase in the photo title and others based on the photo description
