#102 Searching using tags

[Pierre Marchessault]

Hi guys, a previous user (Randy Baumgarte) requested the following suggestion:

the ability to search through tag's would be very helpful,
the lack of this feature is making me look for another program, i do hope to be able to continue using nixnote

That ticket was closed but what he probably meant was:

If there was a Shift-F6 (search) function that would allow to select different user-defined tags so the system would search for 'any notes' that was flagged with that perticular tag (thus replacing all notes with those containing specific tags).

The software has that ability. The tags are listed on the left pane.

However, I agree with him that it would be nice to have another way to search for tags with JUST using the keyboard (not having to use the mouse).

For example: FIN ORG NEW would find all notes that were previously flagged with tags FIN, ORG and NEW. If one is missing, then it returns nothing. Or to make it even more complicated: FIN+ORG&NEW (must contain FIN and ORG in the same note and also lists all those NEW tags also....)

Just food for thought.

Good job guys and thank you.
