  1. Searching Multi-Word Tags With Spaces


    I've been tagging some files on my system with multi-word tags with spaces. For example "Bud Light;".When I search "Tags: Bud Light;" the files don't show up. Only when I delete " Light" is when the files show.Can Windows search for tags with spaces? Or do I have to go back and retag with _ instead of spaces?

    :)

  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

    How to remove bad (misspelled) TAG from Suggested list.

    I have been adding TAGS to images to make them easier to sort. In my haste I spelled a name wrong. Now when I view the DETAILS view pane and then I click into the TAGS bar, and start entering a name, I get a pop-out list of all TAG suggestions starting
    with that letter that narrows down as I add more of the word. But as more and more people get added to the (good) TAG list, the misspelled one is taking up space. Where can I go in Win10 (updates up to Nov 2019) to see and remove unwanted TAGS so they are
    not "suggestions" and removed from the list? It seems reasonable that it would let me even DELETE the entire list and the list would rebuild with tags used in a folder so only a "live" list (yes, maybe even a misspelled one that still needs corrected) would
    soon repopulate.

    IE: I added "Mark" and I added "John", then I was typing and realized that if I right-arrow over the semicolon I could add TAGS for John and Mark to a group of selected pictures, cutting out discrete clicks. In my haste I didn't hit the right-space between
    the names and then hit ENTER to tag the selected pictures. All TAGged as "John Mark"; I realized my mistake, deleted the tag and re-entered them as discrete tags. So, now, when I go to add a tag, and type in "m" there is a suggestion for all my tags that
    start with m, and "John Mark" is in the list. I want to remove "John Mark" as a suggested tag.

    SO: How do I edit to remove bad TAG suggestions in Win10?
