OS: Windows 11
I happen to have a lot of images with a field named "Description". These fields often hold text that is over ~3000 characters long.
When searching via ExitTool value, it will seemingly only search up to (from what I found in my testing) 256 characters inside of that field, everything after gets ignored. This results in the search not finding files with certain values in the field, despite the fields containing the searched text.
To reproduce:
1. Find / create an image with a field that includes a lot of unique text.
2. Try searching for a snipped of text that occurs past 256 characters inside of the searched field.
3. The search won't find the images.
Actual behaviour (bug): Won't find images when searching a value despite the imagine containing the searched value.
Expected behaviour: Finds all images which contain the searched value.
-----
I can guess this has to do with a character limit in the database, which I can understand, however I can't find a workaround and I have a lot of images with a very long description text value.
If it helps, here's an example of one file I was looking at.
Code: Select all
