search for lenses used in LR CC

In the old LR it was possible to search for the pictures I have taken with special lenses. I can not find this lens-search in the search section of LR CC (neither on my iMac nor on my iPad Pro). When can I find this feature?

    Try searching in Lr CC on the imac. Click All Photos (top left) and use the search box and add a short search term. For example if I type EF100 the application finds from the metadata, all photos taken with my Canon 100-400mm lens.

    Sadly still no possibility to list this metadata the same way as Lightroom Classic does it.

    In my eyes the catalog and filtering is the biggest advantage when compared to others like Luminar. Switching over to Lightroom CC from Lightroom would kill that advantage and then makes Luminar more attractive to switch to (no monthly fee)

    I don't know which version you are using, but the search/filter functions of Lightroom have been greatly improved in the two and a half years since the original post in this thread was answered. Simply clicking in the Search bar will reveal a list of many searchable "facets" which includes "Lens". See attached screenshot. If the "facet" you want isn't listed, simply typing freeform text into the search box will use the AI-powered search which is generally excellent.

      Very strange, mine looks quite different:

       

      This on lightroom.adobe.com => Is yours the locally installed version of it? (always thought they are the same)

      Thanks, this helped. Nevertheless it is a pity that the overview over the lenses used is not still available in LR CC ( only in the classical version).
