How to find books that have less than X number of tags?
I can't seem to find or figure out how to find books that have LESS than X number of tags. I use quality check to find books that have excess tags, so how do I do the reverse? I know I can also use QC to find books with 0 tags, but I want to find the books that only have 1-5 tags. Thanks!

I did a browser find for 'less' and found this:

Quote:
You can search for the number of items in multiple-valued fields such as tags using the character # then using the same syntax as numeric fields. For example, to find all books with more than 4 tags use tags:#>4. To find all books with exactly 10 tags use tags:#=10.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I must have not used the "find" feature properly.

My fading memory sees me reaching for browser find with ever greater frequency, which, if nothing else, improves my proficiency at doing that.

Now, where did I put those apples I bought yesterday
