I'm not sure why it doesn't work for "kayak sports"; other searches such as "matthew snowboard" sort correctly.</p> Scampy, the multi-tag search should display results starting with those matching the most words.

I've copied your code into my instance of Gallery and don't seem to get the results I expected. I then tried searching your gallery using multiple search terms and I don't see the results I expected either. I tried searching for "kayak sports", expecting to get back images that were tagged with both kayak and sports. Is this how your modification is intended to work? Am I doing something incorrectly?</p> Matthew, I found your site while looking for a solution to multi-tag searches in Gallery2.
