Windows 10: Win10 Photos App - How to Search?

I am seriously thinking of using MS's Photo App as the backbone of my new photo library effort. I've read that there is a new Photo App available and that is does facial recognition, which is a big deal for me.

So, on my Win10 machine, I opened the Photos app and pointed it to a folder that has a couple dozen pics in it just to see what it's like. It looks great, but I can't find a way to search anything, and there's no obvious way to tag people to enable any potential facial recognition to support people searches.

So, since I just read about a new Photo App release, I went to the Windows Store to download it. The Store says that the app (which I assume is the latest) is already installed on my machine.

So I am really at a loss. I would love to use this app as the central point of my new library. What am I missing here?

How do I move "folder" photos to an Album in Win10-Photos App?

I understand how to add a folder to Photos App. My question is "How do you move a "folder" of photos into an existing Photo "Album" in Photos App?

 

How to transfer photo collection and albums from a PC (win10) to another PC (win10)

Hi RicW-nw

my question is about the win10 photo app and its collections and albums. I posted my question in the win10 photo app forum category, but the question has been moved from the moderator to this forum category....

My question is not about upgrading from winXY to win10 on the same PC (what I've done couple of times before myself), but the question is how to migrate photos from one win10-PC to another win10-PC and
to keep the arrangement of collections and albums in the win10 photo app.

Or to say it other way: I want to have on the new PC the same photo app collections and albums like I've had on the old PC.So I think it's not about copying or transfering normal files and folders and probably not about libraries, but it's a special win10
photo app issue.

So if you are familiar with the win10 photo app and my description of the problem, I would appreciate any sugestions.

Thanks to the community.

 

I don't see a search option in the Photos App. I find it useful for quickly viewing photos. You probably need better software if you have many photos to search/index. Many photographers use Adobe Lightroom for serious photo indexing and editing.

 

Thanks Steve.

The "New" Photos app recently released has search, facial recognition and lots of new features. I have the latest version, and it does not provide any of the new features.

Confused.
