Windows 10 Redstone will feature intelligent search in Photos app
The current Photos app in Windows 10 is somewhat lacklustre, providing a basic photo viewer for photos stored locally and on OneDrive. Windows 10 ships with a Photos app which replaced the Windows Photo Viewer and Photo Gallery. Photos offers very basic functionality to view images from the user's local drive or from the OneDrive cloud storage.
With the Redstone update, Microsoft plans to add intelligent search functionality to the Photos app. If you are using the OneDrive website or are familiar with the Photo Gallery app from the Windows (Live) Essentials suite, you might have seen this feature in action.
The intelligent search feature allows users to search photos based on the people's faces which are recognized by the app and the places where the photos were taken based on geotagging information. It will also be able to finally read customized tags directly.

... the Photos app will automatically scan photos for faces, as well as metadata for locations, then categorize them automatically for easy viewing. You will be able to "teach" the Photos app who a specific person is so it can automatically categorize them into a folder/album that is dedicated to them.
