P: Lightroom making use of Premiere video analysis

I have separate specialized LR catalogs just for videos, and run Premiere Pro Media Intelligence Analysis on the files folder to be able to search in video files. Since PRMI files are configurable as sidecar to the video files themselves it would be nice to have Lightroom check if PRMI sidecar file is found in the video folder and use those to let the user search in the Lightroom catalog too. I also saw that there would be no need to use Premiere for the analysis but it's possible from Media Encoder that is now in beta.

Well, thank you for the warm welcome!
Of course, I believe anybody using Lightroom (Classic, I omitted) to catalog also their videos could benefit from this feature. I know the main purpose of LR is to work on photographs, but since there is also a light support for videos I thought, why not? the technology is already there in Premiere, and this integration could make sense in the Adobe creative applications ecosystem, and an added value to all users. Right now I created a Premiere project in the root of my video folder structure and set the analysis to create a PRMI sidecar file on the video themselves, and then search for videos in Premiere. But if this powerful advanced video search feature was available in Lightroom too I wouldn't have to use two applications, and just "Open/Import in Premiere" when needed from LR library.
