Title: How to search in annotations
Post by: Aubrey on December 23, 2019, 08:03:25 PM
I've added names of people in annotations.
I'm trying to do a search on a name in annotations using the "quick search" at the top of the file window. I'm using "search everywhere". I'm not getting any results... are the annotations included in "search anywhere" ?

Thanks,
Aubrey.

You cannot search annotation tags. This is such a rarely used feature.
Use keywords for your face annotations. That's the proper way to do it and will also make them searchable.

The The Search Bar (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#fw_basics.htm#a_search?dl=h-32) help topic explains where the File Window search bar searches, depending on the options you set.
