Bridge Advance Search metadata string of text

Hi All

In a specific directory, I need to find all InDesign files linked to a specific, named file.

I'm using Advance Search>Criteria:All Metadata>contains>search string.

My problem is that "search string" only works for single words. I need to be able

to search for a multiple word strings such as "ordergrid tile_cct 27-40"

I've tried using mutlitple criteria lines but get sketchy results.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

This may be possible with ExifTool, but I'd need to run a test...

Thanks. I found a great InDesign script that works perfectly for my purpose.

Hi Briant,

I think you might be pushing Bridge's search capabilities too far.

What is your OS, I may have a solution for you?

LOL. I agree- may be pushing too far.

I'm on Windows 10 pro at office and Mac big sur at home.

Thanks so much for any help you can offer. Hundreds of files-major work problem for me.
