  • Google Photos is prepping new Most recent and Best match filters to help you refine search results.
  • The Most recent filter arranges search results chronologically, while the Best match filter shows photos that closely match the search keyword.
  • Google Photos could also start showing albums in search results soon.

Google Photos could soon get new search filters to help you quickly sift through your library for the most recent photos related to a search keyword or ones that closely match the keyword. These filters will likely arrive with a future update, but we’ve managed to enable them ahead of the rollout to give you an early look.

New strings of code spotted in Google Photos version 6.94 point toward two upcoming search filters: Most recent and Best match. As its name suggests, the Most recent filter will sort the search results chronologically, with the most recent photos appearing at the top.
