Using Find to search by Creator (dc:creator)

Hi

We add a dc:creator value to all images with a Bridge template.  I can see it in the RAW metadata for each image.( Mac, Bridge CC 2018 )

If I want to find all the images with dc:creator = "lee"  in the "Scenic" folder,  shouldn't this Find... do the trick?

It doesn't return anything!  Nudge please?

Thanks in advance

It worked for me, using both or only one search criteria! Perhaps try resetting prefs.

EDIT: Another option is to use Paul Riggott’s “Expert Search” script:

It’s looking for the string “dc:creator”. Remove that criteria and just use the second one. It should find every image with “lee” in the metadata.
