    Build 215 adds the ability to give your photos ratings.


    Afterward, search for photos by rating by using the new rating: operator.
    For example: Searching for car rating:5 will find any car photos with a rating of 5.
    If you just want to see your all of your best photos, searching for rating:4,5 which will bring back any photos with a score of 4 or 5.
    If that brings back too many photos then change the maximum limits with the limit: operator.
    Searching for rating:4,5 limit:100 will show the first 100 photos with a rating of 4 or 5.

    Note: Non English translations have their own translated search operators. Move the mouse over the search box for a hint as to the correct operator and number separator.
