Searching on SharePoint Image Gallery only using 'Image Tags'

Hi 

 

Our company has an image gallery on Share Point which needs to be user-friendly and efficient. Since we deal with a large volume of images, we are searching for the most effective solution to easily locate the images we need. Although I attempted to use the "Image Tags" column to tag the images, a keyword search on Share Point displays not only tags but also other files and folders containing the word. Is there a specific command or search bar option to view only "Image Tags" keywords? Could you suggest a solution?

 

Thank you!

    New here in trying to get image tags to show to be useful. 
    As far as i can tell SPO has its own 'image tag' setting which ignores the industry standard 'tags' metadata from a JPG file. 

    Frustrating to see metadata in a file in explorer be useless in a file in SPO

    is there anyway to get the org asset library to read the 'Tags' metadata so images can be searched based on keywords already in the file. 

    (my assumption is they want you to pay for AI tagging, which seems like a bad idea) 

    any ideas.

    Hello EnzoSebastiani 

     

    yes, you can show only results with exactly matching from query and a specific property. 

     

    In my example i wanna show only documents with matching search query in title field:

     

    Query: 

    {SearchBoxQuery} IsDocument=1 AND Title:{SearchTerms}

     

    Hope this helps. 

     

    Best, Dave
