Search files on IPTC keywords

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to search files based on IPTC Keywords.
Is it possible with Microsoft tools under Windows XP?
In particular Desktop Search?

I update the keywords in the IPTC header with Photo Info which works fine.
I would like then to find which files contain the Keywords I'm looking for.
XnView does it, but I'd like to use native products.

Thanks

Photo Info creates XMP metadata, so if you add an XMP Ifilter into the
Desktop Search engine, you *should* be able to pick these up. There's a free
XMP ifilter available to non-commercial users from the IFiltershop. Go here:
http://www.ifiltershop.com/xmpfilter.html and scroll down to the link at the
bottom of the page for the XMP IFilter Workstation Edition.
