P: Filters are limited in combining options

In LRcc filters there is the option to search in text and/or metadata.

 

However, although there is an overlap in text or metadata filters (both contain key words as search parameter) I do miss the option to make a combined (search tree) for text in the titles or subtitles, like is possible in the metadata.

 

Example: As a biologist working with titles and subtitles I would like to find missing subtitles when checking for errors. 

So I would e.g. like to search for Title is not empty, whilst the subtitle is empty.  

This is not possible so far.

It can be enabled by adding title and/or subtitle to the metadata search too, or adding a search line to text search (if you prefer to keep metadata strictly metadata, although key words are neither real metadata)

"I would e.g. like to search for Title is not empty, whilst the subtitle is empty."    

 

By "subtitle", are you referring to the Caption field in the Metadata panel?  (When running LR in other languages, it has other names, e.g. in French, that field is called Légende.)

 

To search for photos with non-empty Titles and empty Captions, you can use smart collections, e.g.
