CS6 Bridge search stopped working Windows 10 pro ver 1903

Hi, sorry to bother you, but I've looked through the Bridge search problems and haven't been able to fix the situation.

CS6 Bridge "search" function has stopped working .... it won't search for anything other than a folder that has recently been opened. For instance, I'm working on a project for a local immigrant program. When I searched for the Key Word "Chinese" no photos were selected (I was searching in the right folder, which I double-checked.) So I poked around in the photos and found those of Chinese immigrants and opened that folder in Bridge. Just for the heck of it, I closed the Chinese folder and did a Bridge search.....this time the folder opened. So I then searched for my granddaughter, Ellie. No photos showed up....and I'm certain you can imagine I have about million photos of her now that she's 7 years.

I'm using a Dell XPS 8700 with an i7 processor and 24gb of RAM. The OS is Windows 10 64bit, version 1903, which otherwise is working very well.

Hope you can help, because although I'm retired I still use a bank of 5gb of photos and not being able to search those is a problem I don't want to even consider.

Thanks much!

Oh, it's still only $10 a month.....I thought it had gone up in price. I suspect that might be the best option after all. I've been using Capture One for Fuji X and have inquired as to the usefulness of Bridge keywords (Capture One also has a catalog), but I also do illustrations and there's no Program better than Photoshop for that application.

This is a known issue, even with the current Bridge CC 2019. No idea when it will be addressed. I JUST had to update metadata for 900+ photos on two different drives and ran into the same issue as you- drive indexes are not being retained so files can't be found. Even using a custom-written Bridge search script, it was a major PITA.
