[. . . ] You specify where you want to search by selecting the Library or the project or album that contains the images you want.

When you enter search criteria in the Query HUD, Aperture displays results from across all your projects. Select Library to search across the entire Library. Specify your search criteria here. Click here to show a Query HUD for searching across the Library. Chapter 12 Searching for and Displaying Images 249 The most common reason to perform a search is to display a selection of images within a project. By selecting a project and using the Query HUD, you can quickly display specific images, hiding the rest from view. For example, you might isolate and display only those images of a certain subject, pose, rating, or location. Your search doesn't change the contents of the project; it only temporarily changes the images you view in the Browser. If you cancel the search criteria in the Query HUD, all of your images appear in the Browser again. The Query HUD is preset to show images that are unrated or better, hiding rejected images. You can change the Query HUD criteria to show rejected images if you wish. Select the project you want to search. Specify the search criteria you want. Click here to show the Query HUD. You can also create special albums, called Smart Albums, whose contents are derived solely by search criteria. For example, you might create a Smart Album that searches for and displays all portrait images from the entire Library. When you create a Smart Album, you use the Query HUD to define criteria for the images that should appear in it. For more information about creating and using Smart Albums, see Chapter 13, "Grouping Images with Smart Albums, " on page 267. Aperture can locate images based on many types of information associated with the images. When you import images into Aperture, certain information is automatically assigned to each image, including EXIF metadata such as image date, photographer, camera technical data, filename, and much more. You can also assign your own metadata to images, including keywords, summaries, captions, and information used by IPTC fields, and then locate your images by searching for the metadata. 250 Part II Photo Editing II The search criteria that you use can be simple or complex. For example, the following illustration shows some of the search criteria you can specify using the Query HUD. Select the checkboxes for the items you want to search by. Specify your search criteria. To search using a particular type of search criteria, you select the checkbox to turn on the search option and then specify the criteria that Aperture should look for. For example, to find images taken on a specific date, you select the Calendar checkbox and select a date or range of dates. Select the Calendar checkbox. Select the dates you want to search by. The images taken on the dates you specified are displayed in the Browser, where you can review and work with them. You can also create complex searches by adding search criteria options to the Query HUD.
