Quick search by name
Search is the feature that users ask for the most. But everyone has slightly different search requirements. 1.6.0 takes the first step in this direction. Now you can enter a few characters from the name of a folder, album or a person and quickly move to the desired section in the interface.
The search is available by clicking the button in the toolbar or by pressing the Control+F hotkey. Previously, this keyboard shortcut was used to add a photo to Favorites, but now you can do this with Control+L. Control+F is the most common keyboard shortcut for searching.
Further development
In this version, it is not yet possible to make complex queries “all photos of me and my wife on the seashore”. However, search will gradually evolve to support increasingly complex scenarios, and your feedback will greatly help us determine where to focus our efforts first.
On the other hand, the advantage of the current implementation is that it does not require additional computing resources for recognition and provides an instant answer to your query right as you enter it. More complex search scenarios will be less responsive.
