Adobe Bridge Find Search Fails on Visible Files
Adobe Bridge 16.0.7.36 cannot reliably find files by filename, even when those files are plainly visible in the folder being searched.
Example files visible in Bridge:
G0005 HQ.jpg
G0005.jpg
G0005.psd
G0005.tif
I tested two different Bridge search methods:
-
Quick Search for "g0005"
-
Edit > Find, using:
Filename contains "g0005"
Current folder and all subfolders
Both returned no results.
Windows Explorer finds the same files immediately.
I also purged the Bridge cache for the files in the folder and allowed Bridge to rebuild it completely. The files remained visible in Bridge, but both search methods still failed to find them.
This is not a complex metadata query. It is a basic filename search for files that Bridge is already displaying.
If an image browser cannot reliably find a file by its filename, that seriously undermines one of its most basic functions.
For now, I have to use Windows Explorer for searches because Explorer finds the files correctly.
