Finding specific data in any tag

Hi Phil,

I know about, and have used various ways of listing tags to see what they contain. My question is: Is there a way to search all tags, for specific data? Something like -if "$*=~/Our summer vacation/" -*. Meaning search through all the tags and only show the ones (if any) that have "Our summer vacation" in them. Something that will not list any tags unless it, or they contain the desired data?

Or is the -all function the best way?

Thanks

Search all metadata.  Interesting.  But not yet possible using ExifTool I am afraid.

Currently you are stuck with -all.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

That is not what I wanted to hear (Sighs), oh well.

Thanks.
