Yeah, try rifling through 20,000 (tagged) photos looking for pictures 
that include your son, your wife, her father, and her grandparents.

Though you do need to tag the files, searching a large library of images 
like this is much easier than, say, looking at each picture trying to 
figure out which ones meet your requirements.
