Search on Tags?

Submitted by BalkanBear on 23 August 2011 - 6:44pm.

Hello,

I use AEM version 2.3.0.2.

My library has only one tag currently, namely "ToRead", and I have tagged several books with the tag.

1) The problem is how to list all the tagged books. The SEARCH box has very, very limited capabilities. If one writes tag name in the SEARCH box the result list is empty. So, how can I have my tagged books listed?

2) SEARCH box does not accept advanced search options like AND, OR operators on strings, or denoting particular columns in the database like GENRE etc... For example currently it is not possible to query the database in this way:

GENRE=Mathematics AND TAGS=ToRead

Are there any plans to extend the database search capabilities?

thank you

best regards

Hi,
In the left pane (Library Explorer) you can see the Tags menu that includes all your tags. Click on the tag and the program lists all books with this tag

We'll consider the advanced search operators for the next versions

Thank you for your answers.

But what if I have 2 or more tags and want to see books which have both tag1 AND tag2 ?

For now it's impossible
Please let us know why you need to see books by 2 tags simultaneously?
