Web Gallery Software

Doing some stuff for someone and need to set up a non-internet facing web gallery for quite a large quantity of image files.

Image files have tags as their filenames, for example:
"house 2bed 2bath.jpg" or "bungalow 4bed 1bath.jpg"

I'd like to have it so that a search for a tag would dynamically produce a clickable contact sheet of all images matching that tag and the files be browsable as well.

Ideally the interface would look reasonably up to date. Their webserver is currently running a LAMP stack using Ubuntu Server 8.10.

Any suggestions about which gallery software may meet this criteria?

Would you not be better using something such as Gallery2 + tags (there's probably better galleries, was just an example) and tagging the photos in there, rather than doing it by filename?

If you really want to go down the file route you could maybe use something like this using regular expressions.

It isn't a case that I want to have the tags in the filenames, that's where they already are

On going the tags don't need to be in the filenames but whatever gallery is used needs to have the existing tags in the filenames imported into it (and this process needs to be automated as there's too many files to manually type them in).

I use Wordpress for a small gallery for family photos using the NextGen Gallery plugin I think its called.
Not sure if its what you want but its an option.
