I run a complete library of all my photos (100k+) and have quite a lot of smart collections.

The big problem I have is when tagging people

Ie the three different people:

  • John Doe
  • John Irvin Doe
  • John Joseph Doe

How can I make indivudual smart collections for these?

I now have it set up like this:
Smart collection: John Doe
Keywords contain words John Doe

Smart collection: John Irvin Doe
Keywords contain words John Irvin Doe

Smart collection: John Joseph Doe
Keywords contain words John Joseph Doe

This works fine for Irvin and Joseph, but "John Doe" will then work as a container matching all of them.

I can't use any excludes as the similar names are usually family and might appear in the same photos.
