Apple’s Photos for Mac offers you a speedy and functional way to edit, manage and share your images. However, there is a lesser known feature called Search that’s embedded in the Photos app for Mac.
Basically, the feature allows you to search for objects, descriptions of locations, places and beings in photos on your Mac. The Search feature might not be known to many folks. So if this is the first time you have seen it, well you are not alone out there.
In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to search photos on your Mac. Before we begin, make sure that you already have a photo library in the app.
Steps to search in photos on your Mac for attributes
Step one: First off, you need to open the Photos app on your Mac. Once you are in, you simply need to click the Search bar located at the top right corner of the app
Step two: Next up, you need to enter a search term to search in photos for attributes or features
