Q: Problem with Faces on Photos
Dear all,
even i spent a lot of time marking faces in the Photos app, i get a bad result by searching the name in the search field.
for example, Name 1 when i go to faces (441 Photos), over the search engine (90 Photos)
how can that be?
is there any solution or help with it?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

The search engine is seeing the searchable faces tags, not necessarily your tagged faces. are you using iCloud Photo Library? The faces tags are tone of the items that do not sync between Macs.
If the search does not see the faces you tagged, try to repair the Photos library.

Important: You should back up your photo library before repairing your library.
- If Photos is open, choose Photos > Quit Photos.
- Press Option-Command and double-click the Photos icon in the Applications folder (or click the Photos icon in the Dock).The Repair Library window opens.
- Click Repair to rebuild your photo library.
For information about restoring photos from your iCloud Photo Library, see Access your photos and videos everywhere with iCloud Photo Library.
