Search in Photos on iPad
When you search in the Photos app , you see suggestions for people, places, and photo categories to help you find what you’re looking for, or rediscover a moment you forgot about. You can also type a keyword into the search field—for example, a person’s name, date, or location—to help you find a specific photo.
Ask Siri. Say something like: “Show me photos from January 2010.” Learn how to ask Siri.
Swipe from the left edge of the screen or tap to show the sidebar, then tap Search. View photos in the suggested categories, or use the search field at the top of the screen to search by the following:
Date (month or year)
Place (city or state)
Business names (museums or restaurants, for example)
Category (beach or sunset, for example)
Events (sports games or concerts, for example)
Person (Lia or Gordon, for example)
Caption (see Add captions and view photo and video details)
Looking for something more specific? Refine your search with multiple keywords—simply keep adding keywords until you find the photo you want. Search also suggests keywords to add to your search.
