Searching for file with non-empty Description field

[pajaro]

I am wondering if this could be done: I am trying to search for files that contain any text in the Description field of the Metadata panel. I did not find a way how to do it, not even after searching the Help file and the forum.

Thanks for any help.

Use a Value filter for the Description tag.

+ Enable the Files with value option (which returns all files with a non-empty value for that tag).
+ Invert the filter

This returns all files in the current scope which have an empty Description.

To find all files without a description in your database, click on the Database node (or the @All category).

Mario was quicker and has the better answer! 

I tried the filter with a regular expression in the Metadata Search with the description-field and the expression:

([0-9|a-z])

Then invert it.
