Search photos

Find photos easily using keywords in the search bar. You can also search for images using metadata, keywords, or based on the objects in them. You can type an object name in the search bar to search all photos and show relevant results. For example, you can type kids in the Search bar to quickly search for all photos that have kids in them. To search your photos using facets, type a name followed by a colon ':'. For example, you can type camera: to display a list of camera models used.

Filter photos

To filter photos, select  next to the Search bar, and you can use the following filter options:

  • Photos: View photos only.
  • Videos: View videos only.
  • Flags: Find photos that are flagged, unflagged, or rejected.
  • Ratings: Use  to view images higher than a specific star rating. For example, you can view photos rated three stars or higher.
The search and filter panel is open, and different options, such as Ratings, Flags, and icons for showing photos only and videos only, are highlighted.
Select any of the options to filter from.
