The Search Bar

Opening the Search menu allows you to strategically search for certain aspects of photos. Open the Search menu by clicking the small arrow at the right side of the search bar.

The four icons at the top of the Search menu take you between Pinned searches, Rating searches, People searches, and Map searches. These allow you to toggle between different search types and easily narrow down your desired search.

The Keywords search field will search the keyword field of any photo. Select the disclosure triangle to the right of the keyword field to display a list of all keywords within your Mylio database.

Ratings allow you to narrow down your search by rating, label, or flag.

Finally, you can select “Show All” to view all files organized by Images, Videos, and Documents.

You can search for photos that contain only a single keyword or photos that contain multiple keywords.

To search for photos that contain multiple keywords, simply search for the keywords separated by a comma and contained in quotation marks.

For example, if you have added the keywords “London”, “Orlando”, “Seattle”, “Disney” and “Grandma” to a photo – you can now do inclusive searches, which means if you enter the search term: “Grandma, Seattle” it will only show you photos that have both the keywords in them. Please note that your search queries must be listed in alphabetical order to return desired results.

The keywords must be placed inside quotation marks and separated by a comma.

When in Calendar view, simply typing a word in the search bar will search for events. Mylio will display any event that contains the word searched for in a list on the right making it even easier to find your memories.

Finding the right photo in a large library can be time-consuming. Mylio can help you locate the photo you’re looking for by narrowing down the results shown when searching for a photo!

This can be accomplished by adding information that you know about the photo into the Search bar in Mylio. When making your search type in a search term, colon, and then your keyword. They can even be combined to really narrow down your search.

Example:

make:Nikon iso:200

This will show all photos shot with a Nikon camera with the ISO of 200.

Search terms include:

• caption – References the caption field, which is editable in the info panel.
• copyright – References the copyright field, which is editable in the info panel.

Using Multiple Search Terms

In some scenarios, you may want to combine search terms to better find a specific photo or set of photos. This can be done by either combining elements of a single search modifier or combining two search modifiers with a single space between them. Additionally, you can use quotes to tell Mylio that your search term is a phrase, meaning it has multiple words or punctuation.

Example of Single Modifier with Multiple Variables:

rating:1,2,3

This search will show all photos with the rating of 1, 2, or 3 stars.

Example of Multiple Modifiers:

make:Nikon folder:Whales

This search will return all photos shot with a Nikon camera found in the folder called Whales.

Example of Multiple Modifiers with a Phrase: 

make:Nikon folder:”Best Photos” keyword:”stars at night”

This search will return photos taken with a Nikon camera, found in the Best Photos folder, with the keywords “stars at night”.
