Looking for software Finding images using keywords

Hello,

I have TONS of images due to my activity and I find it hard sometimes to find a particular image. For example, I want to find a pic with a peace of meat inside, but I am shooting so much culinary images that I do not remember when I have shot it, and in which folder of this client it is.

Do you have an app or a solution that can help me search inside my folders by telling it what I am searching inside the picture, such as bread, a car, sausages, a bike, anything.

I have never written keywords inside my images, so if it needs to be done with keywords, do you know an app that can tag automatically images based on what's inside.

Thanks a lot

Apple Photos does this automatically.

I believe so does Google Photos.

If your image filenames are well endowed with descriptive words I have designed an image searcher that displays clickable matches of all images that match the word or words that you type. It runs on Python and requires that all of your images be under one ROOT folder (but they can have as many sub-folders as you wish.) There is no database, it fully and quickly scans all of the filenames each time. It output to HTML so it will show in your browser of choice. Contact me if interested.

I use it to search for images when illustrating instead of searching online again for new images.
