In the time that I had been working with the old gallery module I too had assumed that ISearchable had been fully implemented but later after looking at the code found that while a former developer had implemented the interface they had never added the code to actually populate the search results collection. It is quite simple to implement ISearchable but with a Gallery it would be difficult to decide what field(s) of metadata would be exposed via the interface - quite possibly that was the reason ISearchable was never really implemented previously. Likewise, although the current module's media metadata includes a Category field - it is not available for filtering of any kind. A gallery really deserves a custom search mechanism.

Since the Gallery module's features and legacy code are so far behind the times I had decided not to further develop the Gallery module. Although I had done extensive work on a entirely new gallery type module I have put that on hold at the time being and likely permanently - in part because there are so many excellent Gallery modules available commercially at a reasonable cost and in part due to my need to work on developing other open source modules which do not currently have any good commercially available extensions.
