Does FamilySearch have any tools that would search the many photos that are in its database and compare the labels and titles of those photos to the thousands of ancestors that have similar records as the labels or titles?

I'm guessing it would work in a similar way as the "Suggested Helps" feature on the right side of the Individual's Page.

When in the Gallery of the Main Memory section, (not the one linked to an individuals page) a search may be done to find any memory Item, in the Family Search Data base. For Instance if you open up the many gallery, and search for - John Jones, it will pull up 10000 items relating to that search term/ https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/advanced-search-options-for-memories

You may search by name or topic tag.

You find this article in our Help Center using search term Memories find

Nida -

Thank you for your suggestion.

To be sure I understand clearly: you said that I can do a search of all the Gallery items in the Family Search database, not just my Gallery items, and find any matches that might exist in all of the FamilySearch Gallery items that are out there. Is this correct?

So for example I want to find any pictures that might exist of my great uncle Boragard Brown. No one in the family ever thought to take a picture of him. I do the search as you describe. And if any other Users of the FamilySearch web site might have saved a picture and tagged or titled it Boragard Brown it will show me that picture in my search. Is that correct?

I am excited and want to learn how to do this!

This will be a huge help.
