Lightroom Version Number
Lightroom Classic version: 9.1
Operating System
  1. macOS 10.14 Mojave
In creating Smart Collections that include rules for keywords, I have always used "Contains" or "Doesn't Contain". I notice that there are other options including: "Contains All" and "Contains Words".

Where can I find the definition of "Contains" vs. "Contains All" vs "Contains Words"?

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum.
In {Contains}, the criteria field, each group of characters separated by a space is searched as a separate item An image containing any one of the items in the list will match

{keywords}{contains}{dog cat}
Images that match would have keywords "dogs' OR "Cat" OR "Doghouse". OR "Cathouse"

{keywords}{contains words }{dog cat}
Images that match would have keywords "dogs' OR "Cat" but not "Doghouse" nor "Cathouse"

{keywords}{contains all}{dog cat}
Images that match would have both keywords "dogs" OR "Doghouse AND "Cat" OR "Cathouse"
