One aspect of Bridge’s interaction with InDesign that has been useful has been its ability to show the fonts and swatches inside selected InDesign files.
Since Bridge is able to show this metadata from the InDesign files I always assumed that you would be able to search by this. Unfortunately this is not the case. In CS3 and CS4 (I didn’t try CS2) I went to search in Bridge. In the search window you can specify lots of metadata items, but document swatches and fonts are not listed as an option. I tried searching all metadata for a given swatch or font, but I did not receive any results. Since Bridge is listing this metadata, it must be there somewhere. Unfortunately I haven’t found any way to search by font or swatch. Here’s to CS5!
Any suggestions?
