I used to add keywords to my photos with Picasa and then later with Adobe Bridge. I then used to be able to search for them in Finder with those same keywords. After upgrading to Big Sur (from Mojave) it seems that I can no longer find photos with keywords alone. Is this normal?

Don't use Picassa and I don't use Bridge very much - I prefer to just work in Lightroom. But I have found that Bridge and Lightroom are 'unreliable' for keywords being passed to macOS. For a jpeg, Bridge/LR keywords do get passed to the file system and do appear in macOS/Finder keywords. But not for a .cr2 raw - the keywords are only in the .xmp file.
