Find Across Multiple Sessions?

I'm new to Capture One and using Sessions for each batch of images.

I'm using a naming convention where possible for individual images in each session, so images are simple to find in the session. However, I have multiple sessions containing the same subject and I'd like to be able to find them using that naming convention.

So as an example I have one subject called David, he has been in multiple shoots and therefore multiple sessions, of course the filename contains ref numbers too etc after batch renaming them. I'd like to be able to retrieve all of those images in one go, perhaps with additional tags such as 5* etc.

Is this possible in Capture One?

Appreciate any feedback.

  That sounds like a job for a catalogue or for Media Pro SE.

  What is Pro SE?

  You can add those folders as favorites in one session. For example:
  
  Let's say you photographed David in session A, session B, session C and session E (David wasn't available for session D). Within session E, you can add all the Capture folders (and subfolders) from session A, B and C as favorites. Then, run an Advanced Search (or Smart Album) for Display Name Contains David AND Rating is 5*.
  
  Alternatively, you can import all the sessions into a single catalog and do essentially the same thing. I recommend keeping it within a session workflow, however, unless you're doing this for David and the rest of his company/family/kickball league/whatever your subject matter may be.
  This blog post is an excellent resource for the proper mixed usage of Sessions and Catalogs, if you are interested:

  Excellent feedback thanks Ben - I'll try the session method.
