Find photos by text in the photo - and other new features in 2019

Google Photos just keeps getting better at searching your photos. One of the recent new features is the ability to search for text that is found in the picture. 
Some photos found in searching for "welcome."
The pictures you see here are just a few of my photos that were found by searching for "welcome." 
Go ahead, give it a try:
  • Just open Google Photos on your Android, iPhone, or photos.google.com on the Web
  • Click on the search bar at the top and type  welcome  or any word you think will be found in your photos
  • Press Enter on computer, or the checkmark or search button on mobile.
  • Did it find any?
