Hmm seems like it's only tag search on albums that is broken. Tag search on your user feed works fine:
http://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday?tag=nature&kind=photo The problem with album tag search isn't specific to photos.googleapis.com, but is also broken on picasaweb.google.com as well: http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday/album/RecentWork?tag=nature I call your bluff on saying that no query parameters work from the list: http://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday/album/RecentWork?imgmax=800&thumbsize=144&max-results=5&start-index=5&access=public&kind=photo Cheers, -Jeff On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 10:41 AM, Jeff Fisher <[email protected]>wrote: > Ah, this is just really broken it seems.
