P: Ability to search Album and Folder names

I have not found a way to search for FOLDER names, or ALBUM names in the new Lightroom CC. If a person has nested folders or nested albums there should be a way to search for keywords in the folder or album names.

Yes, a little. "Folders" are used in LRCC as well as "Albums", and they are equivalent to "Collections Sets" and "Collections" in LR Classic.

And while LRCC does have the AI search capability, that does not extend to the Folders and Albums, only to the images.

You talking about LRCC or LR Classic? My understanding is that LRCC organizes for the user and provides a sophisticated search algorithm to find individual images but that there is no "folder" structure only albums generated automatically. At least that is what I understood Jared Platt to say in his video on CreativeLive.com. Do I misunderstand?

Oh yes, I'm always trying to find albums I've nested deep within folders. Gets my vote!

Hi Philip, thanks for the feedback. This is currently not possible. I've marked your topic as a feature request for other customers to vote on and the engineering team to consider.
