Photo Metadata and Search on MacOS

It's also absolute madness that the native Photos app on iOS will not search the meta-data of the photos, only of the apple-restricted "scene recognition" objects, and dates.

Add a description to a photo, search for that description in Photos for iOS, and there will be no results.

Apple’s Photos team seems to be actively working against metadata support. It used to respect EXIF/IPTC information on import, but High Sierra for example completely ignores all metadata dates and sets the time to file modified time. ಠ_ಠ

I wish there was an open source Photos/Picasa type of app for power users. Something that could create and export indexes in many formats.

There are, but they don't work well. Like darktable.

Out of all the photo library management apps, apple photos is by far the most performant.
