How to search by filename in Lightroom CC (2018)

[harrybarnettw]

I am trying to search my photos by filename on Lr CC mobile but nothing comes up. Is searching by filename in Lr CC not possible?

You posted in the LR 7 forum (aka "LR Classic CC -- The desktop-focused app").  You'll likely get a better, quicker answer by posting in the LR CC For Mobile & Apple TV forum.

Yes it is possible. Ensure you have All Photos selected. Type the file name into the search box where you see Search All Photos and then press return.

You need to enter the file name with any underscores (I don't think it is case sensitive though or that you need to add the file extension suffix).

This would solve the search issue? as of right now I do include underscores outside of custom text in the middle of the file name.

You can also search using other criteria. Tap the filter icon at the top.

99jon​ I just put an underscore between all text attributes of my file name and it did not solve the searching problem on Lr CC mobile. It seems as though it does not support search of file name.

It works OK for me on my Samsung Phone and Tablet - see image below. What mobile device are you using? Do you have a wifi/network connection?
