Search by file tags and keywords

Post by *Lo1us »

I hear Windows 7 has the option of adding tags to certain files (like images or documents).

I do not use Windows 7. I still use the old Windows XP. However, in Windows XP I can add keywords to any file I want. For instance, in the following image you can see me adding 3 keywords (meetings, important, howto) to a text file (example.txt) by right clicking the file, then selecting Properties and Summary:

picturehost.eu/uploads/8633b95372dcf34d4ff1bc6b6a5ebd7a_keywords.png

Is there a way to search a file using a tag or a keyword as a filter? For instance, let's say I want to find all documents that have "howto" keyword or all images that have "yellow" or "nature" tag. How can I do that?

I think this would be a great option to have, cause it will help us to better ogranize our image collections, more then just storing them into folders, to name only one positive effect.

Thank you.
