PM 4.6.1 OS X

Hi Kirk,
Following your excellent recommendation, I use the "search" feature quite a bit to find archive images on my external Drive.
But today I realized I cannot search by "Category" or "Supp Category", as they do not appear in the drop down list.
Can you add them to the list in a new upcoming update?
Thanks,
Nati

No, I can't.  Spotlight does not index those fields.

...which is why they are not in the drop-down list in the first place.
Thanks anyway.
