Please help by voting: tagging and searching in the notes tool needs improvement!

I am quite frustrated: A year ago I requested two basic functions that are still missing in the notes tool:
a) show ALL tags in the sidebar that have been used (not just the 30 most used tags)
b) SEARCH for TAGS in the NOTES SEARCH bar (not in basic search)

My request for a) has gathered only 26 votes within a year!!!

My request for b) even less:
https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-desktop-app/posts/make-notes-search-find-tags

Are there only 26 Logos users on the globe actually USING tags (not just creating them but wanting to FIND them)??? I can't believe that everyone is putting up with using basic search for finding tagged notes. That to me is a bad work around but not a helpful tool for everyday usage. I know of another frustrated user who keeps a list of his hundreds of tags in Microsoft Word (!) so that he can have a printed version on his desk! But this kind of "digital Middle Ages" tactic can't be the solution!

If you use notes tags and miss these functions PLEASE vote for them using the URLs above. Since nothing to this end has happend in Logos 9 I'm quite scared that Logos 10 is not going to bring any improvements either.

And those two requests are just the BEGINNING of a user friendly Notes Tagging tool. Other important functionality:
- a tags manager:

- the ability to include tags in the notes export:

Thanks for your help!

    I agree it would be useful.  I voted.

    This part I agree with and have upvoted.

    b) SEARCH for TAGS in the NOTES SEARCH bar (not in basic search)
    This part, I understand, but did not vote for because you can search for the tag in the filter search within the notes tool. Would it be more convenient in the Notes Search Bar? Yes. But I'd rather see them focus efforts on other things first.

    Hans, as you have seen, to get votes on items, you need to raise the issue in the forums every few months. Few users go back and read all the suggestions since the last time they voted.  Good luck.
