Photos app misidentifies car photo as guitar in search results

I took several pictures of a guitar I want to sell. When I searched for them on Photos, it got me guitar pics but also a photo of a car that had no mention of guitar. How can I correct these errors? Thanks.

You cannot correct the search results with false positives. Sometimes I am getting false positives, because the search string is shown in an unexpected place, for example, it is a part of the name of a person in the photo, or there is a small sign somewhere in the photo with this text shown on the sign, or the place has the search term as a part of the address. Or the search result may be a video and the object you have been searching for is not shown in the key frame but in a later part of the video. If none of this should apply, you may want to send feedback to apple and report the problem, so Apple can improve the object recognition.
