## Discussion

When this property contains one or more <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSString> objects, your search should return only photos whose tags, keywords, descriptions, or other attributes contain one of the specified strings. Use the value of the [`searchTermsOperator`](/documentation/Intents/INStartPhotoPlaybackIntent/searchTermsOperator) property to determine whether the search should be for all, some, or none of the specified terms.
