We can search for resources using Tag:apologetics or MyTag:apologetics, or Tag:Apologetics AND Author:Sproul; please add the ability to search for Notes in the same way, by tags, by highlighting style, using Boolean searches.

Note: that we can use {Highlight *} in the main search is great, but this should be an option within the Notes panel itself. This would enable people to add highlights quickly and later go back and, just as quickly, filter for their generic highlights and categorize them.

    This would be amazing! I've changed my approach to notes this year and am tagging everything. Minimal notebooks and lots of tags.

    Yes! Note's search used to have more sensitivity back in Logos 7. I'm not sure if it worked for all Boolean designators, but it at LEAST was a respecter of quotation marks. When they removed this ability it really screwed up the internal note tagging system (in the body of the text) that I had been developing for years (started before actual "tags" were even a thing). Staring with Logos 8, I was no longer able to hone my search to specific notes using that former system. I've since begun converting all of that old body-text tagging system to actual Logos Note tags, but this is going to take many years to complete and in the meantime I don't have either search method (1. boolean sensitive search bar, or 2. da completed tagging system) that can be used to aggregate notes on a given topic. I'm in limbo.

    Also, as is also requested on this feedback site, I'd really appreciate if we could see Note tags from the preview window when hovering over a note icon, so that I don't have to open a note every time to see what it's tagged with. This would be valuable for both the desktop and mobile app.

    I love this! I have also wanted to search / filter my notes by style, color, icon, etc.
