Can I search by metadata keywords?

[ETBrain]

Hi - I would like to search through image files which have keywords in their metadata. For instance, things like 'exterior, interior, office, residential, sunny, cloudy' etc

But I can't work out how to do it.

Is it even possible and if so, it would be great if someone could talk me through how to do it

TIA!

You will need Everything 1.5.

Include the following in your search:

tag:exterior
tag:interior
tag:office

etc...



Tags are not indexed by default.
Combine with other filters for the best performance.

For example:

"d:\my images\" pic: tag:residential



Indexing tags.

Thanks for the prompt response!

Downloaded and working. So if I have understood correctly, there is no advantage to indexing as Everything will need to 'start from scratch' anyway if I search for tags?

If you don't index tags

Everything will need to gather tags as they are requested.
This will take a long time.
Combine with other filters for the best performance.
Everything will remember tags while your window is opened -adjusting your tag: search will be quick.



If you index tags

Everything will gather tags in the background.
Progress is shown in the status bar.
This index is only done once.
Your tag: searches will be instant.
Everything will remember tags between sessions.
