KP Search

KP Search is a plugin for Adobe Bridge to search and select multipe files. It adds a menu item "KP Search" in the Tools menu. When chosen, you're asked to provide a search term which can be, e.g.,

  1. 2908 which would match any file with 2908 in it.
  2. 2908,2917,2931 which would match any file containing 2908, or 2917, or 2931
You can change (within reason) the delimiter to "|" or another character. Spaces before/after file names are ignored. The files currently shown in Bridge are scanned, and if any file name matches the search term, that file is selected. Once selected you can do several things:
  1. Right-click on any file and choose Label followed by a colour.
  2. Open in Camera Raw

You can download and use KP Search, free of charge!
