Is there a search button in Lightroom? How do I find a photo in Lightroom?
I understand your frustration,
1.Go to "Library" mode in LR.
2.Click on "View" in the Tool bar at the top of your screen (i.e. Lightroom, File, Edit, Library, Photo, Metadata,
View, Window, Help).
3.Click on
Grid and you should notice a new line showing up in the top middle of your LR screen. i.e. Library Filter: Text, Attribute, Metadata, none.... Custom Filter.
4. Now you can create a search. Click on
"Text" and type in the name of the photo you want to find in the search field.
5.Click on
"Attribute" to search for pictures you have previously rated by colour, flag or Star system.
6. If you have inserted Key Words/Tags into the Metadata then I believe you can search by clicking on the
Metadata and adding a key word to search. You can even sort your search taken by certain lenses of camera.
I do not pretend to be an expert but if you do what I said I think you can at least have a starting point doing searches.
For the longest time I was looking for "Find" or a "Go To" icon but last week I had somebody show me and it is pretty simple ONCE you have a starting point.
I hope I have given you that starting point.
