[TYPO3-dam] FE search on metadata

[Stefan Busemann]

Hi Simon,

we are currently developing a frontend search (DAM_Frontend). Currently 
you are able to select categories. But we want to built a free search 
(Keywords, etc). But don't ask, how long this will take ;-)

If you want to help us, please contact me.

greetings

stefan
