Memories searchtool is finding photos with living people tagged

LegacyUser

Bosch said: During years, the memories' search engine ( https://www.familysearch.org/photos/find ) only could find photos with tags to dead people. Photos with tags to living people were hidden. But now, you can find these photos with the topics search feature. I think people should be informed about this change in the website conditions. I know they have been always visible but now they are also easy to find.

"FamilySearch is a family-oriented site and is intended to be appropriate for all ages. All added memories are public."

FYI

Here are Two (x2) important "Knowledge Article" in "FamilySearch" on the matter:

Can I add memories about my living relatives to Family Tree?
https://www.familysearch.org/help/sal...

Where it emphatically states; and, I quote:
----------
You can add memory items to a living person in the same way as for the deceased.
The memories you add for the living are not meant to be visible to others.

Before posting, be aware of local privacy laws, and be sure to obtain permission from any living person.

Important things to keep in mind
- When you attach memories to deceased individuals, they are public. If a living person is in that memory item, it is still visible to the public.
- The URLs of all memory items are public. If you share the URL to a living memory through email or social media, others can see them.
- You can remove the tag from a memory item of a living person. It takes the system some time to fully process the removal.
- When you tag living people in memory items, the tag name only shows in private spaces.
- Others cannot search for information in private spaces using the Find feature in FamilySearch.
----------

Who can view the items uploaded to memories?

Living people
If you tag a memory to a living person in Family Tree, it is harder to find than a memory attached to a deceased person:
- People using Google and other internet search engines may be able to find it.
- Only the submitter can see it in Family Tree and in the Memories section of FamilySearch. (Even the submitter, however, cannot search for the memory using the Find feature in FamilySearch Memories.)
- The submitter can share the memories through social media, email, and direct links. Once shared, the receiver can share the memory with others.

Memories with both living and deceased people
If you upload memories with both living and deceased people, and if you tag both the living and deceased people to Family Tree, those memories are accessible:
- People using Google and other internet search engines may be able to find it.
- People who are signed in to FamilySearch may also be able to find it.
- Anyone who finds the memory can share it through social media, email, and direct links.

If a tag is attached to a living person in Family Tree, the tag is shown only to users who can see that living person in Family Tree. If, however, the tag contains the name of a living person, but the tag is not attached to that living person in Family Tree, then the tag is visible to everyone who sees the memory.

Memories in albums
If you have an album that contains memories about both living and deceased people, anyone who finds any one memory in that album can navigate and discover all the other memories in that album. Other users can also add memories you upload to an album they create.

Supplied just in case you had not see these "Knowledge Article" in "FamilySearch".

Bosch said: Nothing I didn't know and still there is a different criteria between the normal search and the search of topics that seems a bug.

Brett said: And, the aforementioned is what I impress upon those I help and teach.

"Memories", are not; and, cannot be, guaranteed to be "Private".

Bosch said: OK, can we speak now about the topic I was speaking about?

Jeff Porter said: Bosch, while it is true you can see photos with living people in them, I believe you will not see any tags to living people unless you are the contributor of those tags.
