> Being able to sort pics

Google Photos is amazing, but sorting photos in it is pretty lackluster. You can make albums... That's about it. It's sort of like Gmail; They want you to worry less about your complex organization system, and just use their fantastic search instead.

Which is beaten by even PostgreSQL’s fulltext search in 'simple' mode. (At least for my mails).

Hilariously bad.

Photo search is pretty cool.

I just searched for "James in the Mountains" and got photos of my Son in the mountains.

I don't think postgres can do that :-)

Yeah, it's hilariously good actually. I find myself evangelizing the search. It's brilliant, and for the first time in my life, I don't feel a need to organize my photos.

It can, actually: https://github.com/postgrespro/imgsmlr :P

I love the search. My wife wanted a photo of my son at the park on the slide. So I searched for 'slide'. All my photos that I've taken with any slide in it show up.

Really? I've never not been able to find an email I was looking for in Gmail.

Exactly. If there's one thing Google is good at, is search. Especially in their own email.

Photo search is way-cool in Google Photos. Want to see every photo of beer? Search for it. Mountains, cars, places, a named person, animals, etc. I feel the need less and less to meta-tag my photos.

any ref for that?

[sanowski]

do you have an example?
