XnView Software

Some images may have been tagged with categories, but there is no way to search for them. It is recommended to add a category search function so that unknown or known categories can be filtered out.

Thank you for your attention

There is the catalog filter that allows you to filter by categories.
It's in View/Panels/Catalog Filter

Some images are categorized by others. If you don’t open the folder, you won’t know its settings. It is recommended to search for all category tags (even those created by others).

use Advanced search (Ctrl+Shift+F) to search in unindexed files
condition:
- All fields, contains, YOUR_KEYWORD

separate 'All fields' conditions for XMP, IPTC or EXIF are also available

But XnView MP does not have this function, and you cannot find out the category of other people's pictures without opening them.
