Searching Note Files

Nathan Didlake

Greetings, All—

I am trying to figure out how to utilize the "Tags" and "Label" functions of the Logos7 notes system. (My hope is that I can use the notes/clippings system to start archiving quotes and such for later use.) As you'll see on the screenshot below, I manually added a group of tags and labels to a quote from a book from LaRondelle I'm reading...

So, the structure I've used is this:

• Title: Eschatology (since that's the overwhelming theme)
• Quote: the information itself
• Label: Named "Archive" ==> Attribute 1: Prophecy; Attribute 2: "Reconciliation"
• Added tags: Prophecy, Reconciliation, and Heaven

Now, I'm trying to figure how to search through my notes/clippings to find any of those added labels/tags. After scouring the wiki pages, the farthest I've come is either (a) open the notes manually and cmd-f your way through them; (b) do an {label Archive} search, as seen here...

So, this is where we are: I can add labels and search their headings, but I cannot search the label attributes or the tags. Does anybody know how we can search through the label headings, attributes, and tags? What am I missing here?

You can use

• title:eschatology
• mytag:heaven
• {Label Archive WHERE Attribute1 ~ "Prophecy"} or {Label * WHERE Attribute1 ~ "Prophecy"} (the latter is slow)

I wasn't able to successfully test the last one (I don't use labels), so if it doesn't work, let me know.

The attribute is Topic, with values "Prophecy", "Reconciliation", so the query should be  {Label Archive WHERE Topic ~ Prophecy}
