I am trying, and failing, to find how to search my notes by tags at atbref. My understanding is this is possible, but I may be mistaken.
If possible, could someone please provide me a link to instruction in how to search according to note tags I have created? TIA
There are multiple ways to search by Tags - but it’s unclear from your question whether you are searching for tags that you have placed in your various $Text fields, or whether by the $Tags Attribute. If the latter, then you might want to check the $Tags values in Outline or Attribute View to see if they’re populated to begin with.
At the very simplest, you can hit Cmd-F in Outline View while the left-side pane is selected and it will find words. You can further tailor Cmd-F to search only among certain Prototypes.
Maybe you could post a screenshot of exactly how/what you are searching. It will help troubleshoot.
Thank you for responding, Art.
While making notes, I clicked on the Displayed Attributes button on the RHS of my note title. From that dropdown I clicked “References” followed by “Tags”. I will assume this means I used the $Tags Attribute (?).
I followed your instruction (Outline View > LHS pane > Cmd-F) and there they were!! Listed in a lil box on the RHS.
Question: as there are multiple entries for a tag, I click on the one I want to read and it fully appears. But I can’t determine how to return to the previous/initlal “box” where the multiple entries first appeared. Do I just repeat the Cmd-F each time?
Thanks again.
I’m not really understanding the question @WinkyDeb
Apologies.
The search box that opened on the right listed each entry for the searched tag (let’s say 5 showed up). I clicked on one of them which made the search box disappear so I could read that tagged note’s info. Excellent.
I then wanted to return to the search box to check the other 4 but I couldn’t find the box again. Is there a way to return to the box/list of found tags or do I perform the search again (I am hoping for option 1 because if you had a LOT of tags to peruse that would be more efficient).
I hope that makes more sense (?).
I’ll try to address this piecemeal because I feel from your explanation that you may be choosing a less-than-efficient way to perform your searches.
If you hit Cmd-F again, the search is persistent in that the box remembers your last search query. So you can always get that back.
Secondly - the “little box” you speak of I think is a tear-away - if you simply grab it by the banner and move it an inch, it should tear away from the Tbx main window and be a persistent stand-alone window.
For an optimal approach I would suggest opening a New Window (of the same project), setting it to Attribute View, and then setting conditions for the Notes/Tags/etc you want to work with.
Very helpful. Thank you!
