Photos keyword search on iOS8?

Question

Photos keyword search on iOS8?

Can't seem to utilize the keywords I have entered in Photos on Yosemite on my iOS devices.

Is there anyway I can search for keywords in Photos on iOS8?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.2

If you are using iCloud Photo Library then it works seamlessly

Otherwise there is no connection between action in Photos and on IOS devices - you are just sharing photos

So the answer is turn on iCloud Photo Library on your Mac and your IOS devices

Ahhh,

I thought it might be an update issue, so I deleted all the photos from the iOS device and re-synced them thinking the metadata would go along for the ride, but that did nothing. The problem with ICloud Photo Library is it's all or nothing, but now were are talking about something else.

Seems that the metadata should be attached to the photo regardless of how the photo is shared, but that's a question for Apple.

Thanks for a solution, even though it's not a fix for me.
