P: Expand searchable metadata fields

Problem: LR does not search in the IPTC extended field “Person Shown in the Image”
As a general the search opportunities is a little weak in Lightroom. If you add more specific fields in the list of what to search in, it will be a great improvement. Then you could choose to search in one specific field (Person Shown), and you’ll get less noise.

Agreed, it is a must to be able to search in the IPTC extended.

There is another topic about searching here Search in Lightroom. If you like you can support that as well.

Totally Agree! Extensive keywording must be allowed also in the sets... I like applying and searching for specific things:
Example:
Waterfowl
Duck
Hooded Merganser
Mallard
Northern Shoveler
Ring Neck
Red Breasted Merganser
Birds
Blackbird
Red Wing Blackbird
Finch
House Finch
American Goldfinch
Animals
Coyote
Deer

Agreed that this should be built into LR. As a workaround, you can use the Any Filter plugin to search those fields.
