Yes it is. Your iPhone 15 Pro is a supported model and the feature is also region dependent with these languages:

English
French
German
Italian
Japanese
Spanish

Of course the option will only appear when an object has been detected in a photo as seen here:

Go to Settings > Search, and make sure you have Show Related Content turned on. Good point by lobsterghost1, I did not catch that.

Siri MUST be on for Apple Intelligence and it's associated features to work.

Region is united states and the language is english but it still doesn't work. The info button does not display stars in photos. I was told to enable “show in look up” and “show in spotlight” but i don’t get the option. I have attached a ss for reference.

If you looked up the link that Mac Jim ID provided and it still isn't working, take a look at this Apple Support YouTube video to see if you are following the directions correctly. You do not indicate what it is that you are looking at and trying to identify.
