Mac search bar in photos doesn't include location info lookup anymore?

I'm not sure when this started. But I used to love the mac's photo search. Type a location, and bam, you get choices based on that search item. Now it only searches on keywords (garbage). I asked this question before, and it was suggested to use the Places (real garbage). Can I get it back to searching like before... like it does on my iPhone? Macbook Pro 16" 2019 OS 13.2.1

Seems to work for me.

You can also use a Smart Album with "Text"

Scarborough was not a keyword-- it used the location.

By the way, "Can I get it back to searching like before" doesn't really work here-- we are users like you, and we can't get you anything but a little help. If you want to make suggestions to Apple, go here:
