Learn about the different search options available to find your media files in Elements Organizer.
Visual similarity search
For search based on visual similarity, Elements Organizer uses information in the photo such as the color and shape of objects during search. Use visual search to quickly search images containing similar objects, colors, or shapes. You can also choose to specify the relative importance Elements Organizer should assign to colors and shapes when searching photos.
Visual search helps you quickly identify similar photos for tagging. You can also create a Saved Search using the search results.
For more information , see Creating and editing Saved Searches.
Object search
In object search, you initially select the object in a photo that you want to define as the search object. Elements Organizer uses the search object to assign priority when searching photos.
For example, to search for photos containing your pet dog, select the face of your dog in one of the photos. When you search photos, Elements Organizer assigns a higher priority to photos containing your dog.
