From: Rita Howells How to use the “Search" function to search for objects in your photo library: Rita’s iDevice Advice for September 5, 2022
Note: If you are using VoiceOver: when the instructions say "Tap on an item", perform a one finger double tap. Open the Photos app. Tap on the Search tab, which is represented by the magnifying glass icon at the bottom right. Tap into the Search bar. Type a search term, such as “dog” or “cat”. You will see that the Photos app search returns some surprisingly accurate results. Photos can be searched from your photo library by locations, people, scenes, text in the photos or other elements in the photos, such as a dog or a car. More about Searching in the Photos app: How To Search For Specific Pictures In The Photos App, on your Apple iOS Device: This search feature is handy when you have taken a photo a while ago and can't find it manually. Open the Photos app and search for a key term in the app, and all the photos that match should appear. That's because Apple has designed the Photos app to recognize scenes and objects using machine learning. You can even search for events, like a concert you went to: "Photos for iOS can use the time and location of your photos along with online event listings to find matching photos." It is also possible to search by location, so you can enter a place name such as Pensacola, to track down photos of your trip to this beach destination. First, open the Photos app on your iPhone. Next, tap on the Search tab in the bottom right-hand corner: which has a magnifying glass as its icon. Then simply type in the name of a place, a search term, or even a person's name (if they're assigned in your Photos app) to find matches. Search for a key term in the app, and all the photos that match should appear. When you are running VoiceOver: you can add a text label to the photos in your Photos App. There are a few Ways you can get a photo described to you right in the Apple photos app. For one thing, as you are swiping through your photos, you can perform a three finger single tap on the photo to hear a description, also often read automatically, of what is in the photo. You might hear things like, table, chair, two people. This is just an example. You also have the option to use the Rotor to explore and get image descriptions when a photo is open. Turn the Rotor to “Actions” and swipe up and down for the choices of: Explore Image Or Show Details. Make sure that your screen curtain is off, and that the brightness is not set to zero. next, while you can of course listen to videos that you may have taken, you can also do this with Live Photos. If you have the live photo setting turned on in the camera, Open a Live photo, then double tap and hold where it says live photo. You will hear a couple seconds of audio. This, combined with the description voiceover gives you, can often be enough to determine much about the photo. Beyond this, you can name the people in your various photos, so that going forward, voiceover will tell you who is in every photo you have. You can also search for photos based upon topics, events, people, dates, and locations. Finally, if you are certain of what a particular photo is, you can use the two finger double tap and hold on any photo, to open the voiceover label element feature. Then you can provide a descriptive label for each of your photos. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
