Search Images by name in Media Library

[Phil (Phil Snow)]

Hi @scott2 & @colin.baxter ,

This is in fact a bug in the media library at the moment. We've discussed it previously here:

BUG: Problems with using filter search from the Media Library page

I have identified a problem with how the filter search works for Media tags. Below is an example of trying to find a specific image by filename using the filter search in the media library. For our only repository, go to the Media Libray Perform a filter search for: CaringHandsDay_reschedule_NL_1100.jpg When you follow these steps, no image is returned. If I modify the search to only "Caring" many images are returned, but not the one I need. If I leave the filter search empty and just scroll …

As you can see the search doesn't work consistently:

We plan on doing maintenance to the media library in the future because of this issue and I can only apologise for the inconvenience this is causing in the time being. We will update everyone in the above thread if/when there is any update on this.

Right now the best workaround is to add keywords in the 'private notes' section which will work as tags.

Thanks.
