Combining tags for searches

Question

I want to know about combining tags for searches.

Let's say I have two tags: PURPLE and DRESSES.

I know how to look at each tag individually. And I know how to show both tags at the same time.

But this will show me every item that has EITHER tag on it. So this will show me all of my purple couches and also all of my dresses in any color.

How can I search only for items that use BOTH tags and see only the purple dresses?

I love this tool so much and I am aware I'm only using it to like 30% of its potential. Thank you so much.

Answer 1

On the selected tags, click the highlighted icons as shown in the screenshot below so that they turn to a red exclamation mark:

The yellow star means that items are shown that may have the tag. If you select multiple tags and all of them are set to "*", all the items are shown that have any one of the tags (tag1 or tag2 or tag3, etc).

The red exclamation mark means that only items are shown that actually have the tag. If you select multiple tags and all of them are set to "!", only items are shown that have all of the tags (tag1 and tag2 and tag3, etc).

You may mix the modes, e.g., if you want to show only dresses, but that are either red or blue. In this case, you would only set the "dress" tag to "!"

Ahhh! I knew you probably had incorporated this and just had not found it yet. This is so brilliant and makes this tool 10x more useful even than it already was. Thank you so much!
