Searching by Image Name, Caption, or Other Text
You can search for images using any text that you’ve associated with an image. For
example, you might search for images based on text in an image’s caption or keywords,
or in any other text entry. You can also search by multiple text entries.
To search for images by text:
1 In the Projects inspector, select a project or an album you want to search.
2 Show the Query HUD by doing one of the following:
 Choose Edit > Find (or press Command-F).
 Click the Query HUD button beside the search field in the Browser.
3 In the Query HUD, enter the text you want to search for in the search field.
You can enter multiple text items, separating them by commas. Aperture locates any
images that have a match for all the text items.
The images that match the search criteria are displayed in the Browser. To save your
search results, see “
Saving Your Search Results ” on page 315.
