Strange bug on iPad: the search functions totally ignores the folder names. Here are two screenshots illustrating the bug:An album called xTestFolderSearch containing 10 pictures:... and yet the result for the search of the folders name “xTestFolderSearch” yields nothing 😮

Please allow search option for finding albums. There should be an option to not just sort the albums but also to search for album names so we can find an album like we can a collection in lightroom Classic. This should be possible in lightroom mobile and lightroom desktop. It’s too difficult to find a group of images rather than one specific image. I can then find an image but I have no way of knowing how to get to the collection it is in. So there should also be an option to when you are looking at an individual image to see which collection it is in and go there. This could be done in a ... menu to the image. Option Gero go to album and then it could show a list of the albums it is in. And the. It should take you to the album and continue showing that image on the screen in that album in the grid but at the point in the album where that image is show. I know this is two different ideas but they all center around the same thing: finding albums. Two different ways to find an album. I think both should be in there.

Indeed! Sensei is good but only as good as an AI can get. There are so many cases where AI or even real human intelligence won’t help:

will it be able to recognize a country or location juste based on a sunset? No
A bird spieces where specialist struggle to identify it?
A specific shooting or model?
A sport event amongst all the ones you’ve shouted?

The list is endless and those are examples that came up on me in a fraction of a second.

The album name search is the most important search, because almost nobody is entering keywords for each picture. And the Sensei is a nice feature but absolutely useless if you search a specific album. And even folders names should be searchable but that has lower priority. In general all features we have in LR CC desktop should be available in mobile versions as well.

Can this bug be solved, please? It’s really annoying to to be able to search for a folder. Especially as you refuse to sync keywords!!

Technically it's a feature that hasn't reached mobile yet. The album name search was added to the desktop a few months ago but hasn't made it over to the mobile apps yet. It's definitely one I'd like to see added though.
