Searching for Title and Caption

Is there a way to search for Title or Caption metadata fields in Lightroom (cloud)?

Not specifically. The best you can do is use the AI search for a word or phrase that you know appears in the Title or Caption fields in the images you are trying to filter. But that likely will produce more results than expected, as it will show all instances of the search word(s) in any of the various text-search fields. These fields include Title and Caption but also many others.

Not sure when this changed, but just wanted to say that this was fixed at some point. I just tried putting some random strings into title and caption (which AI would never be able to guess from the image itself, or from tags) and I was then able to search for them. There is a delay of about 15 seconds before they become searchable, but it does work!

Kind of what I thought, thanks for the explanation.
