    Why LR allows keyphrases, but won't search for an entire keyphrase as one?

    Robert Agree entirely - taking the John Smith and John James Smith example, you have to know that you need to exclude James OR look at the results of John Smith and then tamper with the SC to get what you want. Interestingly I would have thought that 'starts with John smith' would have excluded...

    How do you add ICC profiles to Lightroom.

    ..but OP has already shown that in LR, NO profiles are shown - it's empty. Even if (doubtful) something was wrong with creating profiles, at least, the standard profiles loaded with the printer would show up in LR. I still wonder about C vs H drive!

    How do you add ICC profiles to Lightroom.

    Notice that Windows (and, of course, your profiles folder) is not on your 'c' drive. Surely LR can't be so rigid as to make that a problem?

    External edit changing capture time

    Alan Been a bit of a on-looker on this one but would be interested to here what your plug-in 'maker' has to say about this

    External edit changing capture time

    Alan We have had this before and I'm sure someone with a better memory than mine will step in!! I do know that there are as many ways to deal with dtg (date time groups) as there are image applications and, additionally, some cameras have the facility to 'set time' as offset from GMT whereas...

    Creating a filter based on Focal Length

    Beat is right that focal length is not a standard filter but you can do it by negating those fields likely to have the same value. The following picks up focal length of 4''mm but is really only useful for occasional use rather than for multiple focal length values.

    How do you add ICC profiles to Lightroom.

    I thought a right click in windows on the new profile gives the option to install??

    Metadata: Subject distance

    Ah, that's so you don't connect the tripod directly to the camera!!!

    Metadata: Subject distance

    'My Car is metric' Ah but not completely! The tyres are but the wheels are in inches ::)

    random selection

    Only way I can think of requires the file names to have similar structures. So if your filenames were Trip A '1'1.jpg & Trip A '1'2.jpg, you could select the folder and open a Library Filter Text: Filename>Contains All>1.jpg This would, of course, give you 1 in every 1' of your images. If...

    random selection

    Don't know whether that sorts the OP's problem but it's very clever thinking!

    Criteria in SmartCollections

    Agree with Nisseman Smith but not Nisse Jones 'cos the latter is excluded i.e. not a smith Absolutely but we must not forget that it's a failure of LR that causes such action!

    Criteria in SmartCollections

    @Robert I must be having one of my thick days! I thought the first part of my suggestion returns all Smiths and then the subset takes only those starting with Nissie Is that not what the OP wanted

    Criteria in SmartCollections

    John is, of course, right. There are a number of issues with smart collections but provided you do not have a Nisse Smith and a Nisse F Smith, I think the following will work:
