PSE2109 Search function broken during Album Creation

Ceslaus1234  wrote Folks, When Creating an album in the organizer, why doesn't the search function work? its grayed out?

Please explain. Creating an album is the action to create a custom list of files already highlighted or selected from any kind of search. The files are already selected, and creating an album is simply assigning a new name. I can't see why you would do another search in the few seconds needed to assign the name?

And why is the search function so complicated? Why can't I search for a photo using the "New " search and when found, just douple click it so organizer jsut takes me to it? Am I missing something?

You have many tools for searches, including the 'New' one, which is an easier interface than the advanced search by details. My guess is that you are missing the fact that the 'New' search does exactly what it is intended for:  finding  items matching your criteria. Once it has found those, you must click on the "back" "Grid" button, top left, to see your selected items in the regular browsing space. You can select them all or only some, and create your album  or assign specific keywords to the found items.

Edit, I mean the "Grid" button, not "back", sorry.
