P: Search by "No Keywords" option in filter

I use a lot the "None" filter to know if I have any pictures I still haven't document. I think it's easy to implement and extremely useful.

I'm on version 4.2 of Lightroom cc, Rikk.  

I have several pix that I've found without any keywords, meaning I forgot to add.  But I haven't found a way to do a search that will bring up every photo that has no keywords.
Thanks

Is there any way to find pictures that have no keywords attached within 'Search' without having to look at every picture in your library individually?

Lr CC has this feature. Enter any word in the "Search All Photos" box at the top. Lr AI will attempt to find photos matching it. It's not wholly accurate, but it works.

 

For example; sailboats in not one of my keywords, but if I enter "sailboat" all my photos with sailboats are displayed.

 

Knowing this feature, I've gotten used to not entering object keywords like "flower", or even "river" for example.  And I just use keywords for events and activities.

My bad. I can see the product selected is Lightroom Desktop (Cloud Based).

To be clear... you are talking about Lightroom Desktop not Lightroom Classic, is that correct? If so, I will merge your post to another with the same request so your vote is added to the others who want this feature.

Hi Todd,

your answer is valid for LR Classic, I guess.

If you have a way for LR Cloud, then I am interested as well.

Best regards

Peter
