            Bug ID: 424887
           Summary: Searching for file metainformation such as tags in
                    Dolphin
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 18.08.0
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: search
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: myndstream at protonmail.ch
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

A way to search for different metainformation of files including "tags" with
Dolphin's search would be very useful.

When clicking on the tag in the information panel on the right Dolphin displays
an error message: "The file or folder tags:Tag-name does not exist."

I also tried searching for files with a specific tag with KFind by entering
"Tags" into "Search metainformation sections" and the tag-name in "for". It did
not show any results.

Please also reply if there is a way to search for tags with KDE/Qt software - I
think there has to be.

Searching for tags via the search Dolphin would be useful for many use-cases
such as for music files (similar to playlists), images, and other media (like a
media center).
