In the Google Play version of the Photos app which was first spotted by Prasham Parikh of Android Police, the company is testing the ability to search using several filters simultaneously. Previously, on the Search or ‘Explore’ tab, you would find many different types of filter options at the bottom of the screen – favorites, videos, selfies, collages, animations, movies, creations, screenshots, archives, and motion photos.
Upon selecting one of these, you’d be presented with the results of the query, but if you click the search bar again, you would have to select a new filter or type in a new search term. In an update to come, you will now be able to combine several of these at the same time. This includes searching for specific people by face, and so on as shown below.
