Subject: How do you search within sets using the API?

Hi,

I would really like to search within sets using the Flickr API, but the only way
I can think to do it would be to do a photosets.getPhotos and a photos.search
and compare the results. This doesn't really seem practical to me as
photos.search could return a lot of results.

The omission of a set_id parameter from photos.search seems especially glaring
when you consider that it has group_id and in_gallery parameters.

If anyone has a work around that they know of I'd be very grateful to hear it.

Cheers, Jamie

there is no way to search in sets, AFAIK.

you could also add a particular tag (e.g. a machine tag like
jamie:set=<set-id> ) to all ime images in a set, and then add this tag
to your search to search in the set.  that's a lot of API calls, too
:(

There is no way, apart from to return all photos in the photoset and do the search yourself. But usually this isn't that hard, as there aren't usually that many photos in a photoset (or at least not enough to make this that hard).

How big is the set you're searching? Would it be practical to just fetch the metadata for everything in the set and search through it in your application code?
