Can't find photos that aren't in an album

Hi

I'm looking for a way to find all photos that aren't in any album... I saw online threads that said that I need to type "Album:" in the search bar then options are going to appear letting my select all photos not in any album

However, when I typr "Album:" in the search bar, nothing happens. I've tried on the web and on the ipad.

Is there something I am missing?

 

Thank you

David

This works in Lr-Desktop, not in Lr-Web, and I don't know if possible in iPadOS.- another forum member may know sbout iPadOS.

 

in Lr-Desktop

Click in the Search bar window and choose the [Album] button in the 'Metadata' section-

This will give you a list of ALL your albums,

Scroll right to the bottom of your album list and you will see-

Unfortunately, searching Not In Any Album still isn't possible on iOS (I don't have Android but assume that's the same)
