21.5 Creating Powerful Search Filters

Any image collection soon becomes unmanageable if you do not find a means to search
for the images you need and find them without much of a hassle. To help you organize
your collection, digiKam offers you two search options:
Simple Search
A basic search. Select Tools > Search and enter a text string that might be associated
with your image (image or tag name or comment) and hit OK. You can save this
search for future use and edit other existing searches listed under Searches on the
left edge of your digiKam window.
Advanced Search
Complex search filter. Select Tools > Advanced Search, set up complex rules using
any image property (album, tag, rating, date, etc.) and combine these options as
needed. You can save your search filter for future use and edit other existing
searches listed under Searches.
