Is there any way to change the metadata fields in the library filter?

I use the Library filter/Metadata all the time, but I need different fields than the ones that is awailable in this list. Does anyone know it if it posible to edit this? I think it is posible, the reason I believe this is that after I added a plugin for Flickr I got three new fields in the bottom of the list.

So what I'm asking... is it for example posible to get Title as a field in this list??

Only via a plugin, which is what's happening with Flickr.

My Search and Replace plugin's Workflow Filters (you don't need to buy) populates a title field, among others, and I use it to review metadata entry .

I Installed the plugin... and now I get the option * Title * in my library filter.... . But I added "Test" as a title for one of the photos... but the filter is not updated. Is this not the way it is suppose to work? Where do I have to add information to populate the field *Title*?

I figured it out! This plugin helps me alot - Thanks!!! Had to buy it to get all the functionality

All the basic filtering functionality is free but you do have to run the menu to update the fields like *Title* , because Lightroom doesn't make it easy to automatically update custom fields.

I really wish that one could filter on Title, and other fields, without reliance on plugins!
