I have put the year 2019 in photos as well as Day 1 and have not been able to Search in the Keywords for these to bring them up.
Please advise how I search for such numbers.

thank you
 
Why do you use keywords for this at all? Are these not digital images, but scans? Photos from a digital camera already contain all the date information you need, so you can filter on that directly without adding the year as keyword.

Can you explain exactly what you mean by/do to search? It works fine for me Filter bar search by Text > Keywords > Contain > Keyword. Numbers are no different to any other keyword.
 
You would have to use ‘contain words’, otherwise searching for ‘12’ (as a day, or the month) will also bring up all images from 2012. Maybe that is where it goes wrong? But anyway, like I said, you don’t need keywords at all to search for dates.
 
Why do you need keyboards to search by dates?
Don't You mean "keywords" not "keyboards"? A date value in a keyword field is not a timestamp date but a string of characters that when read by the human eye could be interpreted as a date.
