I like the ability of Google Photos to search for photos.  For instance if I type in Tractor, it finds most all of the tractor photos I've accumulated over the years.  Same with Grandmother, baby, open field, etc.

However, I'm not fond of my pictures stored on a cloud, and for that I want to get away from the Google platform.  I have most all of my photos stored on a 1TB hard drive.

So I'm looking for a software program that will basically recognize photos and offer results, without storing things online.  You think it's easy to find this online???  Nope.  

What does the NAT faithful suggest?
