How do I search for a specific user named location?

[Bob M]

I must be being a bit dense this morning because I have managed this in the past.  But how do I search for a user defined location?  For example, I use locations of the form "Algonquin Park / Barron River / Cache Rapids"; "Algonquin Park / Barron River / Barron Canyon";  "Algonquin Park / Barron River / The Cascades"; and others of the same structure.  So how do I search for "Barron River"?  Location Barron River; location Barron River; location.legacy Barron River; location.legacy "Barron River" -- none of these return any results, nor has any other combination I have tried even those including "is", "=", "like", etc.  So what is the syntax that I need to use?

I should mention that I can find these photos through "browsing" but there are cases where this is not convenient.  And I know I have done this in the past.

I am using PM6+, build 6375 on Windows 10.

Bob,

Have you taken a look at the Search Examples and the Searchable Fields windows?  They're both available from the Catalog menu.

Yes.

All of the location search examples are gps based.  I tried various guesses based on the "city" example and the "caption" examples -- no joy.

Can you post a screenshot showing the Metadata (IPTC) Info dialog displaying the field that contains your data, please?  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your JPEG format screenshot.

Bob,

Thanks for the screen shot.  The field you want is subloc.legacy.

Try:

subloc.legacy Barron River

HTH,
