Hi Folks,

Does anyone know how to seach for pics what haven't been put in an album? Also, how to search for pics that have no keywords assigned?

Thanks.

The first bit is easy: click on All Photos, then click in the search bar, then either start typing "Not in any album" or click on the Album facet and scroll to the bottom of the resulting list to find the "Not in any album" option.

I don't believe the second part is possible, or at least I haven't figured out a way to do that.

Thanks, Jim, that's super helpful.

I found a way to search for images with no keywords, though it is UGLY:

• Filter by each keyword - can do a bunch of keywords at a time
• Mark them with something unused, like star 3
• Once that's all done, search for all stars except star 3 (including no stars)
• This will return all except those with star 3, and would therefore exclude all keyworded pics (except those that happen to have that star)
