  1. Searching for Files that aren't Tagged


    I already know how to search for specific tags in Explorer on Windows 11, for example "tags: car" to find all pictures tagged as having a car, but how can I search for all items that have not yet been tagged? I've tried things like "tags: """ or "tags:blank" etc., but nothing seems to identify items that have yet to be tagged with any tags.Thank you

    :)

  2. need to search for TAGS

    Hello
    Have created name tags in image files, want to find an easy way to search for individual tags.

    i read this

    Using Tags to Search in Windows 10 File Explorer

    • Open the File Explorer by pressing “Win + E” keys.
    • Click on the search box and then go to the “Search Tools” in the menu bar.
    • Select “Other properties” to expand the options.
    • Click “Tags” to allow Windows to reference tags when looking for the file.

    But I just cant find search tools...Also there's meant to be an option of a drop down list of tags to select

    I am certain the answer is simple, but its eluding me, Thanks

  3. Clear the 'cache' in file explorer for already used picture tags?


    If you set some tags for your *.jpg pictures, the windows 10 file explorer shows them in the "details pane" on the right side.

    This list can get very long and with some wrong or no longer used entries.
    How can I clear this list / cache / suggestions?

    Or how can I stop the file explorer to suggests already used Tags?

    Tags arent searching in File Explorer

    Hi Alicia,

    It seems that the Windows Indexing Options settings have changed after installing the recent update. To resolve the search result issue, we suggest rebuilding Indexing Options. To do so, please follow the steps provided by
    Stephanie Sal's post on this
    link.

    Feel free to post back with the result for further assistance.
