Keyword List

I've spent a good deal of time assigning keywords to 20K of photos. The list is long. When I try to do a search by keyword, I get a list, but it is not complete. If I could scroll up and down maybe I could get to the top of the list, but scrolling does not seem to be a feature.

I'm thinking I need to revamp the keyword list to make it shorter so they all will fit on the screen.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks, Sue

Frankly, I suspect that when the developers created this interface it never occurred to them that folks would have that many keywords.

There is no way to scroll up and down that list.

Workarounds:

1. Use Smart Albums

2. Use Keyword Manager. As well as making it easier to apply keywords, to have nested keywords and so on, it’s also easier to search on them too.
