Front end Tech-degree Interactive Photo Gallery, Completely lost on how to go about a search plugin.

Hey Cody! Try using an event listener on your search bar to query the "data-sub-html" attribute on each image item. For example: 

$("#search").keyup(function(){
      var current_query = $(this).val();
      $('.gallery-item').hide();
      $('.gallery-item').each(function(){
        var current_keyword = $(this).attr("data-sub-html");
        if(current_keyword.indexOf(current_query) >= 0){
       $(this).show();
        }

Obviously replace with your id and class names. Hope this helps!
