How searching works

To be able to search for files, you need to have a method for adding text, so-called metadata, to each file. Without metadata, you are only able to search for file properties such as file name and file date. By adding metadata to fields, you make it easier to find images because you can search for any information that you include in the file. FotoStation has powerful tools that help simplify the process of adding metadata to your files. This topic deals with how you can find files that you have captioned.
