An illustrative browse stack. The counts come from the local index.
More than one way in
A photo library should be browsable.
Not every question is a query. Sometimes you want to open a person, a tag or a place and look. Those three views are shipped today, with folder and date filters around them.
Tags
Open a tag to see its count and the images behind it, then combine it with a folder or date filter.
Locations
Photos with GPS can be browsed by country, region and city from the Locations page.
Choose a view
Start with People, Tags or Locations depending on what you remember about the photo.
Add a filter
Narrow the view with a folder or date range without leaving the local library.
Browse the result
Open the filtered gallery, the details view or a slideshow.
The honest part
Search is coming
- A free-text search box and Ctrl+F are not in this build. They are planned.
- Object recognition and “find the Space Needle” content search are coming, not available today.
- Until then, browse by face, tag or location and filter by folder and date. The index is local.
Good questions
Browse the library, answered.
Can I search by text?
Not yet. Free-text search is coming. In this build you can browse by person, tag and location, and filter by folder and date.
Can I browse by face?
Yes. The People page is the face browse surface, with named and unnamed people.
Can I browse by location?
Yes. Photos with GPS coordinates are grouped on the Locations page by country, region and city.
Does it recognise objects?
No. Object recognition and content-aware search are not in this release; they are coming.
