Windows 10: How can I get Windows 11 to search media file tags on a NAS drive?

I have a TerraMaster NAS F4-223. NAS = Network Attached StorageI've established a mapped network drive Z:.I have ~3 TB of media files on this NAS, and that have Tags on them Right-Click -> Properties -> Details -> Tags.Before I moved the files over to the NAS, I was able to use the basic Windows File Explorer to search on the Tags, and now when I search, it only does a basic search of the filenames and seems not to look at the Tags at all.Is it possible to get Windows 11 to search media file Tags over a Network drive?If it is not possible as other posts seem to suggest at least

How can I get Windows 11 to search media file tags on a NAS drive?

1. I have a TerraMaster NAS F4-223. (NAS = Network Attached Storage)
   
2. I've established a mapped network drive (Z.
   
3. I have ~3 TB of media files on this NAS, and that have Tags on them (Right-Click -> Properties -> Details -> Tags).
   

Before I moved the files over to the NAS, I was able to use the basic Windows File Explorer to search on the Tags, and now when I search, it only does a basic search of the filenames and seems not to look at the Tags at all.

Is it possible to get Windows 11 to search media file Tags over a Network drive?

If it is not possible (as other posts seem to suggest at least with regards to previous version of Windows) why in 2024 is it not possible? Ugh.

 

Search for Tags in file properties on network drive

I appreciate the canned answer but I feel as though you did not read my question.

I have a Synology NAS with 5TB of videos and images. This media has been tagged in Adobe lightroom with Tag keywords. If you right click the file in Windows and go to Properties, then Details, and look for the line that says "Tags" it will be populated
with whatever word we put into lightroom.

I need to search for these tags from within Windows search or any third party app (that isn't lightroom or bridge)

If the file is on the local hard drive I can go into Windows search and type tag:"insert keyword here" and it will find them. BUT when they're on the NAS, since it is not indexed, it doesn't find them.

So I'm looking for an actual way to index the NAS without turning on "available offline" since that would consume way too much data. Or find a third party app that allows for similar "Tag" searches.

Thank you.

 

Search for Tags in file properties on network drive

I'm looking for a way to find Tags within file properties in windows 10 off a NAS. Tons of issues indexing a NAS that's not running windows server but i'm ok with using a third party app. The problem is I haven't found one that can
search for just tags.

We have thousands of pictures/videos that are tagged Eg: cloud, blue sky, puppy I want to be able to quickly find these files without using Adobe Bridge of Lightroom (both can do it).

In Windows, if it was local, or on a windows server, or if we could tag the network drive as "available offline" then we could open Windows search and type taguppy and they will come up.

So I can index a network drive with a third part app but can only search for tags within Windows Search. Any ideas?

Thanks
