How to Find Photos in Flickr
Flickr is an online photo depository with a social component, which allows you to add other users as "Contacts," comment on their photos and marks ones you especially like as "Favorites." Flickr is equipped with a powerful search engine that allows you to search for images based on their geographical location, title and keywords the uploader has ascribed to them. You can locate a specific user's photos by searching only within his album.

Enter keywords into the "Search" box at the top, right corner of the Flickr homepage. Doing so pulls up images that include the keywords in a given image's title, description or within the list of "Tags" the uploader has ascribed to it.

2
Complete a Flickr "Advanced Search" to locate photos based on narrower parameters than a general search. Tick the box next to "Tags Only" if you only want to search for your keywords within "Tags" that a user has given an image. Click the arrow next to "Everyone's Uploads" to narrow down your search, such as to limit it to only specific contacts, friends or family. Enter a date range in the "Search by Date" field.

Browse a specific user's photos to find images she took. For example, if you've recently made a user's photos "favorites," explore the rest of her sets and collections to find other images you enjoy.
