TL;DR

• Google Photos is testing a new search feature that will allow users to search for content in shared albums without saving the photos.


• We’ve spotted a filter to include and exclude shared photos in the search results


• Currently, users have to save shared photos to their accounts before they can be searched.

Google Photos is great for photo editing and media management, but it’s also pretty good for sharing photos with others. There is one caveat, though: You cannot search for anything in the images that others share with you, at least from what we can gather.? Users have suggested that you need to save shared photos to your account first to be able to search for them, which isn’t very apparent to most users. Google has been working to fix that by directly opening up the ability to search for photos from albums shared with you on Google Photos.
