Searching your library

Dr. T · 12-09-2010, 12:40 PM

Hi everyone. I'm sure this has been asked and answered elsewhere on the forum, but I could not get the right combination of search terms to find it.

Is there a way to search and display items with multiple tags. For example, could someone have a "homework" tag and an "unread" tag, search for items that are tagged with both, and have only those pop up in the list? Or, can you only narrow by one tag at a time?

This is a feature requested in the past. Right now you can only search one tag at a time. As far as I know successively narrowing your search isn't possible.

You can select "all tags" first and then search and you find whatever you are looking for with any tag. Is this what you wanted?

Thank you both very much.

Sjarrel, I apologize for not being clear... I was just hoping to be able to pull up a list of library items tagged with two different things. Using "all tags" defeats the purpose for me.

Boris, thanks for the information; I had presumed that would be the response, but I thought it best to ask.
