How can I search to search for images with only 2 specific people?

I have a lot of photos the tag with a lot of peoples names and other keywords.

I also have many people tag with the face detection feature.

I want to see pictures that don't have 2 specific people in them, anyone else included.

I expect Ctrl-click on a few faces and he let me to raise only pictures with those two, no chance.

I was hoping to enter key words somehow, no luck.

There has got to be possible, hoping someone can help me get there faster...

Appreciate the help!

I want to see the pictures that have included ONLY 2 specific people in them, nobody else.

It is conceptually simple, but somewhat tedious: first of all, you will find all the photos that have at least 2 people, then you exclude those photos that have other peoples.  It will be much easier if you have all of those organized hierarchically under a parent keyword, for example people.

1. in the catalogue on the left panel, make a right click of the quick Collection and make clear quick Collection.

2. click on all photographs.

3. in the library filter bar, open the metadata browser and configure it to have two columns of keyword.

4. in the first column, select the keyword in the first person and in the second column, select the second person. This will show the pictures that have at least two keywords, but they can include photos that also have other keywords of people too.

5. do not change > all select and make Photo > add to quick Collection.

6. in the catalog Panel, click the quick Collection.

7. in the library filter metadata browser, delete a keyword column.

8. in the remaining key word column, if you have intermediate keywords with your keywords of individuals, expand each of them.  For example if you have people > family, people > friends, people > colleagues, etc all expand them to all the keywords of the sheet are show.

9. Select all the keywords people clicking on the first and then shift-click on the last.

10 deselect any intermediate parent keyword (e.g. people > family) by Cmd/Ctrl-clicking them.   Deselect the people themselves.

11. deselect keywords two sheets on the two people.  At this point, you should have all of the keywords selected sheet people except for the key words of two people and no intermediate grouping selected keywords.   Pictures showing are those containing the two desired keywords and at least another keyword of people.

12. do not change > all select and make Photo > remove from quick Collection.

13 disable filters by clicking None in the library filter bar.

Quick Collection now contains these photos that contain the desired keywords of two people and no other keywords of people.

If you do a lot, you can use any filter plugin to predefine a search that automates this for you.  Set this research would be a bit difficult, so if you want to go this route, send me a private message and I'll take you through it.
