For me, one of Lightrooms most useful library features is the ability to search for images using titles and keywords.
With this in mind, I spend ages adding titles, captions and keywords after downloading my image files.
Usually finding an image is pretty quick, provided I use the right search criteria.
However, I recently came across an instance where a search produced a result I wasn't expecting.
I wanted to search for images using the word "tree" but as well as tree, I also got loads of images that were labelled "street" so I finished up with far more images than I was searching for.

I bet the answer is simple, but the question is, how can I ensure that I only get results for "tree" and not for other words that contain "tree" as part of a longer word?

I tried putting quote marks around the word "tree" but that didn't help.
 
Have you tried setting the search CONTAINS to "Words" this should eliminate Trees

YES!
Thanks very much for the suggestion.

I knew it would be simple, I'd missed the search option "Contains Words" which produces the results I'm looking for.

Thanks again.
