Searching for multiple people in Photos?

Within the Photos app in Windows, how do I select multiple people to search my photos for?

For example, if I want to see all my photos with 'person X' in them, I just go to People and select 'person X' and it shows me photos with only that person in them.  I want to see photos with person X and person Y.  How do I select multiple people to filter on?

Thank you!

I must be doing something wrong...  When I select your link, it just shows me this page again with the link.  I cannot see the answer.

Thanks for the help!

I'm not trying to select multiple photos, I want to display all photos that contain certain people.

Example:

I want to see all my photos that contain both 'person X' and 'Chandler' below.  I can easily select Person X, but when I try to add Chandler to the search, it just switches to the second person and I lose the first person.

Face Recognition in Windows 10 is still developing. They've just added tags so you can tag the people found in a search, and then you can search via tags for multiple people as discussed here:

If you need further help with then I'd ask Shawn Brink who is the master of everything he writes about and will know best, in the tutorial comments here for Photos App Face Recognition:
