Search By Tags

Post by IsJohnDoe »

The properties section allows to index tags. But there is no tags keyword in the search syntax list.
What's the point of indexing something that can't be searched?

I am using tags with the Directory Opus 13 ADS. Is this incompatible with Everything? Why can't we search by tag?

To search tags, use the
tags:
search function

For example:

tags:"My keyword"

tags:

Alright, it wasn't working before and I don't know why. But now that it is, it's really good. I'm assuming that I don't need to wrap it in quotes, but you did. Is that to enable "whole words" (as opposed to partial match) ?
Very handy. Now I just need a decent tag manager; nobody seems to be able to make one that is efficient. :(

Use double quotes (") to escape spaces.

It's still a partial match.
Use
ww:tags:
to match whole words.
