Find media files using keyword tags

Keyword tags let you quickly find photos and other files. When you use keyword tags to find photos and media files, the Advanced Search bar
displays the keyword tags you’ve selected. Searches begin as soon as you select the tags in the Keyword Tags panel.

Search for media files with specific keyword tags by clicking the > symbol next to the tag’s name.

In the Keyword Tags panel, click the ">" symbol that displays when you move the pointer over the tag’s name. Elements Organizer searches
for media with the selected keyword tag and displays the result in grid. The Advanced Search widget shows the selected tag for this search.

To remove a tag from the search, deselect the tag in the Advanced Search bar.

Exclude.
