Adding "Tags:" search to Filter Bar

[Voidelocity]

Without having to always type "tags:" in the Search Box...

How might I add "Tags" option to the Filter Bar so that I can enter the name of any tag into the search box and have all items with that tag show up in the results?

Say I want to locate all files with the tag "vacation 01.02.2011" into the search box without the prefix "tags:"...

I successfully added the "Tag" filter to the filters drop down menu:
• Name: Tags
• Search: Tags:
• Macro: dir

This brings no results when I enter "vacation 01.02.2011".

Is this possible and what would the macro be?

And so, to summarize:

I wish to add "Tags" search to the Filter Bar > select that option > Enter tag name (only) in search box > Get results in Results Window.

Thank you!

Did you try
Search: Tags:
Search: tags:

[void]

Please try creating a tag filter:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to: Tags
• Change the Search to: tags:<search:>
• Change the Macro to: mytagmacro<search>
• Click OK.

Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.


If you wanted a filter to search filenames or tags:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to: Tags or filename
• Change the Search to: tags:<search:> | basename:<search:>
• Change the Macro to: mytagornamemacro<search>
• Click OK.

I started using version 1.5 and find the "tags" immensely helpful ( I tag using directory opus ).
Following your instructions of Fri Aug 12, 2022 12:59 pm, I created a macro to search in both the filename and tag using a filter.
As far as I can tell It works fine (in both English and Hebrew).
I also display the "Tags" and the "rating" columns with no problem.

My question is :
How to search (on both filename and tag) but only for those documents that say have a rating higher than 60.

I tried but was not able to execute using a filter.

I "discovered" ver. 1.5 just yesterday. It highly impresses me. I wonder,... are the "tags" "comments" and any other fields all indexed ? If so, you are much ahead of directory opus in this. .

Thank you for your feedback Mati,

How to search (on both filename and tag) but only for those documents that say have a rating higher than 60.

Please try including the following in your search:
rating:>60

Limit your results for the best performance, for example:

ext:mp3 d:\media\ rating:>60

I wonder,... are the "tags" "comments" and any other fields all indexed ?
