Can metadata details be edited using any search criteria?

[marianne_0057]

When I click on "Album" or search by "Keyword," Elements 2025 finds the photos but doesn't let me click on them and make updates to things like date, or keywords.  Is there a way to do this?  I don't want to have to keep scrolling through 20,000 pictures to find the one I want to update tags, date, etc.

Thanks for your help!.

If I understand your problem correctly, this is an issue that I also find very annoying.  When you use the Search box to find a set of images, the results will appear in a grid.  But, as you describe, there is nothing you can do with the search results until you click the Back to grid button:

This control will take you back to the media grid which will display only your search results.  You can then tag or edit the metadata etc.

Yes, that was my problem. Thanks for your response, Greg. Much appreciated.
