I have a folder of photos. there are several sub-folders of photos in that folder. I have a client that is interested in seeing photos of bbq's, steps, and anything that has the colors graphite or victorian. how do I search for any photo in google that has one or more of those 4 keywords?

the photos are not in google!  that is just the name of a folder that I had downloaded from google.  all photos are on my hard drive and i want to search via lightroom or bridge.

To search by Keywords in Bridge, the images would have to have had keywords entered into their IPTC data fields.  If they are your photos, then you would have had to enter those keywords yourself.  If you didn't do that, then you're wasting your time trying to search for them.

 

If you did keyword them, you can search in Bridge using the Ctrl-F command and then adding the keywords in individual fields and checking the relevent options for matching all or either of the criteria.
