Searching for keywords on ios

Hi -


I have about 40 GB of photos that I have added keywords to with who is in the picture. If I search for a keyword on photos for mac, no issue. If I do the same in photos for ios, nothing comes up.


Is there a setting I am missing? I'd like to upload everything and share the albums with my family, but would really like them to have the search capability.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks!!

The photos app recognizes places, things, seasons, faces, events, titles of albums that you create on the device itself, etc. As far as I know and from what I have been able to determine, it does not recognize keywords associated with Photos.
