Search with natural language

Natural Language search is for meaning. Describe what you remember instead of guessing a filename.

Try queries such as:

  • night shots near water
  • a speaker discussing the launch plan
  • warm outdoor wedding portraits
  • calm instrumental music
  1. Select Natural Language in the search-mode control.
  2. Enter a short, specific description.
  3. Press Return or pause briefly for results.
  4. Inspect likely matches and refine the wording if needed.

Natural-language results use completed captions, keywords, and transcripts. Results improve as more of the library finishes analysis.

Better queries

Combine a subject, setting, action, mood, time, or visual quality: family walking through blooming orchard is more useful than family. Avoid long instructions or punctuation-heavy sentences.

If a precise name or filename matters, switch to Keywords search.
