Is it possible to set up a smart album based on multiple keywords?

I have some photos that have two or more keywords, typically location and subject. When I set up a smart album with two criteria - keyword=location and keyword=subject - no photos match.

Am I doing something wrong?

Is there a way to make this work?

Thanks

How to make Smart Albums which exclude specific people in photos for Mac OS How do I create a smart album in photos for mac which includes selected persons but excludes specific people. I have tried: Match all conditions: "person includes person1, person2, person3"+ "person is not excluded person" But it yields no results. Also: "person includes person1, person2" yields an empty result. Is there a solution?

Smart Album from "Categories" in Photos After years of hesitation (I was pretty upset about the removal of iPhotos...), I am now experimenting with Photos. I have been using Lightroom since 2016, but with tens of thousands of photos, the search function in Photos is an amazing help! I have made some smart albums based on the camera used, but what I really would like is a smart album based on a category like "food" or "cat." The application can find all the photos I want, but it would be great if I could just click once to see all the photos in a category like I can to see all the photos from my Canon camera. IS this possible? Thanks! Dave

photos not in any album I recently converted most of my albums in my photo library to "smart albums" When i smart search "albums not is not any" to determine which photos are not in any Album. It appears that the app does not recognize smart albums as "albums" because it returns a number in the '000's. Hope i am doing something wrong, because its a useful feature.

What are you trying to find, exactly?

Photos that have both keywords or Photos that have either keyword? Note the setting to match All or Any of the options...
