Exclude media files from a search
You can exclude media files from your search results. For example, you can search the Friends subcategory and find
media files of all but one of your friends by applying the Exclude From Search Results command to that friend’s tag.
You can also exclude an entire category or subcategory from your search.
1 Do one of the following:
•
In the Keyword Tags panel, right-click/control-click the tag of the media files you want to exclude from a search,
and choose Exclude
Media With
[keyword tag, category, or subcategory name] From
Search
Results.
•
Right-click/control-click one or more keyword tags in the find bar and choose Exclude Photos With [keyword tag,
category, or subcategory name]. Or, double-click the tag to remove it from the find bar.
2 To undo the exclude command from a tag, click the Exclude icon
next to the tag in the Keyword Tags panel.
You can also find photos with a specific person or subject alone by excluding a category or subcategory and searching
for a tag within the excluded category or subcategory. For example, to find photos that contain only your friend
Chiara, not photos with Chiara and other friends, search for the Chiara keyword tag and apply the Exclude command to
the Friends subcategory. Elements
Organizer finds the photos with only the Chiara keyword tag, excluding photos that
also have other keyword tags from the Friends subcategory.
