Q: Face scan over library

I need to do a complete face detection scan over my entire library, on iPhone was easy as Photos > Detect Missing Faces

I don't need only the suggested faces on the bottom, i need an entire scan, is this possibile in Photo?

Thank u very much

OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

    Photos is scanning all faces when you import the photos. It is doing this in the background. Let Photo run over night and don't shut down the mac after you import new photos.  There is no special command to repeat the Faces scan.  The initial scan after importing is all there is. If it has been a longtime since you imported your photos, the faces scan is probably complete, and the thumbnails at the bottom of the faces album are all faces that can be found in your library.
