But with all the location info, it stubbornly refuses to find or recognise my Lanzarote pics from Feb this year. And yes - can't see anything or anyway to find the key words / tags - or, given it's an in progress AI development (I think) what our interactions may have to do with it.

Just checked my google dashbooard - it's a good job I can search the photos for faces, words, objects, dates etc as I've got 84,000 of them archived on google photos! At the moment I'm just uploading about 100Gb (yes) of camcorder footage from the early 2000s which I'm archiving onto Google Photos for free as I'm letting them compress it. No noticeable loss of image quality, and I can now spend hours smiling at the vids of my boys as little kids. The computer has spent the last 4 days solid doing the upload, it's still got a few more days to go yet...
