Making Photos Searchable

I want to allow users to tag photos to make them searchable, I am considering creating a list of texts on the photo’s data type. Do I need to make the user submit each search phrase one by one, then add it to the list? Or can I separate them by line, or by comma even?

Also, is there any way to navigate around the lack of autocomplete? As I understand it, searching “cat” won’t return photos tagged with “cats”. Any plugins that might make this easier?

I wonder if you could use Google cloud vision API? It’s pretty cool. You can test it in Google Photo if you’re using it.
