Exclude media files from a search
You can exclude media files from your search results. For example, search the Friends subcategory and then apply the Exclude option to a
friend’s tag to omit those media from the search results. You can also exclude an entire category or subcategory from your search.
Do one of the following:
In the Advanced Search bar, right-click/control-click the tag of the media files you want to exclude from a search, and choose Exclude.
Right-click/control-click one or more keyword tags in the find bar and choose Exclude Photos With [keyword tag, category, or
subcategory name]. Or, double-click the tag to remove it from the find bar.
For example, to find all your images taken during Surfing but exclude the ones which are Blurry. The smart tags also appear in Keyword
Tags pane in Advanced Search widget. Elements Organizer 11 finds the photos with only the Surfing keyword tag, excluding photos that
have the Blurred smart tag applied.
