Try a description such as “a dog running on a beach” or “a birthday cake.” Search combines visual similarity with text and metadata, so you can also look for people, album names, camera details, and places. Results are ranked matches, not a guarantee that every photo fits your words. ## Narrow your results Combine a search with structured filters, or browse using filters alone: * **Favorites**: focus on photos marked as favorites (rating 5). * **People**: choose the people who must appear. Selecting multiple people finds photos containing all of them. * **Date**: choose a capture-date range. * **Album**: limit the view to a collection. * **Type**: choose images or videos. For example, find photos of two family members from a particular year, then narrow them to a holiday album. Filters also work while browsing Photos, albums, and the [map](/guides/product/map). You can bookmark a filtered view to return to it later.

Gumnut also preserves supported favorite or one-to-five rating metadata on import. In a shared library, ratings are part of the shared photo metadata. ## Search intelligence Automatic image analysis helps you find subjects and scenes even when you have never tagged them. Gumnut also generates a natural-language description of each image, which you can review in its information panel. You can add or update your own caption separately. Generated descriptions help [AI assistants](/guides/product/ai-assistants) understand the collection without opening every file. Recognition and descriptions can be wrong, and new uploads may still be processing. Automatic visual analysis is image-only today; you can still browse videos using their available metadata and structured filters. For programmatic filtering, see [Pagination and Filtering](/guides/apis/pagination-and-filtering) and the Search endpoints in the **API reference** tab.
