Search by Keyword

After importing my library of photos in to C1 I've noticed that the only way to do a search by keyword is to have the folder highlighted where the pix are that have that keyword on them. In LR I can have either the whole catalog highlighted and do a keyword search or by having a year highlighted. But I do not see this feature in C1. Am I missing something?

  Answered my own ?. Highlight "all photos" and the list comes up.

  Selecting All Images brings up all 100,000 images in my catalog. It would be much more convenient to, say, to select my 2115 collection or referenced folder and then do a keyword search on only those items. Is this possible? Should be to make global searching more reasonable. thanks Using Elcap on a mac.

  You could make a collection (e.g. smart album) which you might use more often, e.g. name it "2115" 😊 and filter for date. Then make your keyword searches on this collections (instead of the standard collection "All images").

  Thank you. Good idea. I assume there is now way to select a parent in collections of folders and have the sub images displayed. LR and Aperture do this nicely.

  AFAIK no. Would be nice to have.

  I can imagine that 100,000 images would really slow down the hunt. I have about 45,000 and gave up, way too slow, especially after being use to the speed in LR. Collections would be a good idea or split up the photo library by years and/or decades on the older pix.

  I'll be a little cautious here but with something to suggest.
  
  I'm using Windows and I work with sessions so a few thousand files not a hundred thousand files .... so I have not idea what performance would be like although I will assume not as fast as a session .... but.
  
  If you want to select on multiple criteria you can do so in two way. That quickest to achieve results (using windows) is to go to the Library tab (assuming you have not already tailored your workspace to your personal preferences in which case it may be a little different) do to the Filters subsection. Then check out the subsections under that. The defaults are useful - you can add and remove fields on which to filter if something different suits you better.
  
  Date is usually a default - Year > Month >Day
  
  Keywords will list all used keywords.
  
  On windows you can select multiple radio buttons using CTRL-click. Presumably there is something similar for Mac.
  
  I assume that Catalogues have something similar? Would that help?
