            Bug ID: 367700
           Summary: It should be possible to search for more, if not all
                    metadata fields.
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.2.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Searches
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: wscheffner3 at gmail.com

>From the above list of Possible Duplicates only 180268 has some relvance from
my point of view. Unfortunately Ingomar has restricted his description to the
artist or byline field.
In my opinion it should be possible to search for much more, best all metadata
fields. In the handbook there is a good chapter explaining the advantages of
Digital Asset Management which has to do a lot with metadata. There is also
something said about workflow.
Very often my first step in a workflow to edit metadata is to find all the pics
I want to edit. For example I made a mistake in the last few years using ES as
country code for Spain. digiKam now offers ESP in it's dropdown list for the
country field. To tidy up the mess I need to find all the pics with ES as
country code. Similar problems exist in my collection with other fields like
sublocation, city, ...
And generally spoken: when you set up a database you never know what you might
want to search for later. So it makes no sense to limit the search to certain
fields.

Next step in the above example would be to change the country field of all the
pics in the search result from ES to ESP with one mouse click. But that will be
a new entry to the the wishlist ...
