I've noticed a disconnect between Siri's ability to search my on-phone photos and the "search box" ability. I have people's faces identified in my iphone's Photos (ios 10). So, I have multiple pics of each of my kids, identified, plus a bunch of other objects that apparently are searchable (pumpkins, etc).
If I ask Siri "Show me pictures of Anna", it says, "Here are some pictures of Anna I found on the web" and it shows random actresses and people. If instead I go into photos app and TYPE Anna in the search box, it pulls up every pic with the face of my daughter Anna. If I ask siri to show me photos of pumpkins, it DOES show me my own photos of pumpkins. If I ask it to show me photos of Jim, my son, it shows just ONE picture, but if I put Jim in the search box in Photos, it shows me all pictures of him. Oh, and sometimes I have to instead say, "SEARCH for pictures of so-and-so" instead of SHOW.
Anyone able to make this work consistently? Why on earth would I want Siri to search the web for a name that clearly is in my photos (spelled the same, even).
