Question

Comprehensive searching in Adobe Libraries without written descriptions

With all of the AI features that Adobe has been featuring lately, I've been hoping to see a solution to this inquiry, but so far I can't find any answers.

I've been using the Libraries to store and use graphics that I create, which has been great - but individually naming, organizing, and adding tags to each asset has been really time consuming. Plus, it is impossible to get a truly comprehensive search when 1. Description fields have a 130 character limit and 2. Human error means that not all tags might be the most relevant for every search.

For example: Let's say I have a graphic of an apple that I upload to my library. I can name the asset "Apple" and write the following keywords/tags in the description: "Fruit, Produce, Food", and that asset will only show up if any part of those keywords are typed in the search bar. However, if someone else using my library wants to look for something like an apple but searches a different word like "Grocery", the apple won't show up. 

What would be ideal is if the Library search could use image recognition to search through my assets like Google Images, automatically brining up results within my Library related to my search without me having to write tags in the description by hand. 

Is there already a way to do this that I am missing? Is there a good plugin out there that will accomplish this? Or is this something that Adobe could accomplish as a new feature in the near future? 

Thanks in advance for your time and answers!

Please post feature requests over there: https://illustrator.uservoice.com

 

Probably there are digital asset management systems that can do what you want.

You also might want to check Adobe Bridge for your file management.
