Windows 10: Search Box in Explorer Window top right Doesn't look for TAGS metadata in JPEGS

I have family photos, and each JPEG has its own tags and comments in the metadata "behind" the image. The textbox in the upper right corner of the folder window is not yielding accurate results when I search for "Birthday Party" or "Graduation." Please help.

How to reset suggestions for Tags in Windows 10 File Explorer?

I'm adding Tags to my JPEG Metadata in Windows 10 to help search and sort pictures, but Tags are sometimes misspelled or entered without a separator (semicolon in my case) and Windows will never forget my typos.

I have no problem editing, correcting, or even remove Tags from my JPEG Metadata, and a simple search will show that there's no longer a single file on my computer which is tagged with e.g. "Grandma Gearbox" - but as soon as I try to Tag a photo with the
word "Grand..." or "Gear..." - Windows will never forget and still keep suggesting every crazy combination I ever managed to type in a hurry.

How can I make the Windows File Explorer forget about my old typos?

 

need to search for TAGS

Hello
Have created name tags in image files, want to find an easy way to search for individual tags.

i read this

Using Tags to Search in Windows 10 File Explorer

• Open the File Explorer by pressing “Win + E” keys.
• Click on the search box and then go to the “Search Tools” in the menu bar.
• Select “Other properties” to expand the options.
• Click “Tags” to allow Windows to reference tags when looking for the file.

But I just cant find search tools...Also there's meant to be an option of a drop down list of tags to select

I am certain the answer is simple, but its eluding me, Thanks

Thank you for the quick reply Farah, but this is not related to the search history. I had already wiped it out in an attempt to see if it helped, but that does not affect the drop-down list that pops up as soon as you start
adding new tags to a JPEGs metadata. The drop-down list that appears then - will still remember all my previous typos, used tags, and tags with source unknown.

Maybe there is a tag history in the registry, similar to the search history found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WordWheelQuery?

Best regards,
