- correa_brian 2y agoNice. I didn't know Spotlight could do that. Does it also work on your local photos and videos that are not in iCloud?
- gedy 2y agoYes has local support, I never enable iCloud images
- miles 2y agoFTA: "macOS Ventura allows Spotlight to find images in your iCloud Drive, Photos, Messages, Notes and Finder, making it very easy to find the media that you are looking for. Apple says that it can even detect images based on the content like 'dog in car'." I haven't been able to get this to work in Finder; can you please share which search attribute you're using?
- gedy 2y agoIn Finder, there is the search box in upper right. Type something like "Blue shirt", and one of the options that pops below the box will be: "Content: Contains 'Blue shirt'" It should do a visual search for some common things, as well as OCR in image text.
- miles 2y agoThank you for your reply. My initial testing yielded no results, but simplifying the search term to single words (like "mountain") worked to turn up a few (among many that should have appeared). Seems like there may be room for Desktop Docs, at least until Apple's own ML search improves.
