well, after some work, I've discovered that if you remove the
individual names from the Faces cork board (thereby eliminating all
our hours of work) then the behavior goes back to the default search
of keywords.
sigh.
and iPhoto still won't write the keywords or gps info to the actual
photo unless you export (making sure to mark the correct boxes),
delete the photo from your library (to avoid duplicates) and then
reimport the (exported) photo.
As much of a hassle and workaround as this is, I'm actually
considering doing it for the majority of my photos just to be safe and
have all my tagging work protected in case of a corruption to the
iPhoto database...

Rick,
You are RIGHT! I have spent hours going through almost 5,000
pictures using the "faces" feature and am almost done. Previously I
had done as you and listed combinations of people in the description
area of the photo and could search the keywords for just those
two. I had not tried this under the new iPhoto until your email
and no matter how I fiddled with it this no longer works. Bummer
and we should complain to Apple about this so they will add it back
in, I sure intend to.
Thanks for finding this.

Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken, but this seems to be a new
(and dumb) behavior in iPhoto 09.
In the previous version of iPhoto, I tagged everyone in my pictures
using the keywords field.
To search for them, I could just type their name. To find a picture
with multiple people I would just type both of their names.
For example, if I wanted to find just pictures of my mom and my
sister
together, i could type "Mom" and "Sis" in the search field.
Only pictures with *both* of them in it would show up.
Now, in iPhoto 09, typing "Mom" and "Sis" shows all pictures with
*either* of them in the photo.
This is not a good way of doing things. Am I missing something?
