You can access the text search by clicking the corresponding button in the upper-right corner of the window. This allows you to search for photos by entering any text—regardless of manually assigned keywords.
In the text input field, enter your search term or a description of the image, such as “A lovely afternoon in the garden” or “Romantic atmosphere by the lake.” Use the switch to the right of the input field to toggle between German (DE) and English (EN).
Under “Search Settings”, you can specify what to search for:
Photo Content: The AI searches the photos based on their visual content, focusing solely on how one would describe an image.
Text in photos: The AI searches for visible text contained in the photo.
Both options can be enabled simultaneously.
Under “Find options”, you can set additional parameters:
Distance limit (for image content only): Determines how strict or loose the match with the search term should be.
Max. Number of Results: Limits the number of search results displayed.
Overwrite Results: Determines whether a new search result replaces or adds to the previous one.
Search in: Choose between the entire database, the current view, or specific folders and collections.
You can then refine and narrow down the search results using additional search functions, such as keyword search.
Important note: You cannot search for file names or folder names using this function. Use the text field in the filter bar for this purpose (see the section “Narrowing down photos using the filter bar”).
