Indeed, Captions seems more adapted to OP's use case (unless he also needs to <br>
add a title and caption to each image). Searching on terms in these fields <br>
works. And entering the terms can be done from the main view, so a series of <br>
images can be handled with almost only using the keyboard (PgDn to go to next <br>
image, cursor stays in the last field used, the image metadata are updated <br>
automatically when you switch to another image).<br>
<br>
But it is an abuse of the captions field, so might not work nicely with <br>
external programs (or agencies using the images).<br>
<br>
Keyword use in Digikam seems to be more geared towards the use of restricted <br>
vocabularies, organised in a tree structure. In such systems, the keywords are <br>
re-used rather often, and used to find groups of related images, not one exact <br>
image... In other words, you select appropriate keywords from an existing list <br>
(and only add a keyword when absolutely necessary, if allowed to do so).<br>
