Search options needed for focal length, ISO, etc.

This seems to be a topic that comes up, especially amongst more accomplished users of Ligthroom (Mobile). Many of us would like to see seach by focal length and ISO (and other medtadata). It should be simple enought to implement--rather than having a string fo search terms along the top, have a drop down menu of "Metadata" options, similar to Lightroom Classic.

 

LrC is great for so many things like printing and batch work and contributions but Lightroom (Mobile) is so much more intuitive, so adding these simple searches would be more than helpful for when we're on the road or sitting with our iPads.

Well it maybe there but its a poor implementation compared to classic...

 

In Classic for example if I want to see the number of photos taken with a number of focal lengths, I just click metadata and boom there is my answer:

However in CC its a right faff, I can only select one focal length at a time and there are no counts:

Dare I even say it, but darktable is SO much better:

I get a graph of counts, I can select a range just by dragging the mouse and I can right click to get each value and count:
