Based on how your gallery is setup, if you still see the need for searching, can't you just enable the search for those sections only for now, it would reduce the need to go through and tag for every picture.
If you did want to do a search for all pictures, then a search for a specific character would yield the same result as redirecting them to the folder for that character.

Although there are sections for a few characters, most images aren't arranged that way. For example, there are many sections that are grouped on a per-episode basis.
Also, people often want to search on things other than just character names.... Which leads me back to image tags. Since we have more than 250,000 images in the gallery now, as I said before, the challenge is how to do large-scale tagging in a reliable way (I have some ideas). In the mean time, as you suggested, I might set up a search capability that would work based on file or folder names, since that's the only identifying info that we have at the moment.
