Feature Request: Search and Filter Files with tags

Hello Nextcloud community,
I’m relatively new to nextcloud and I’m pretty happy with it. The only thing i really miss is a proper search and/or filtering for tags. I work a lot with tags to organize my files (mostly PDFs) which works well with the collaborative tags, however the tags are pretty useless if there’s no proper search for tags. The search currently only returns results if you search for a single tag, as soon as second tag is added to the search field, no documents are found (in tags). So the unified search doesn’t work. In the files app it’s also only possible to select a single Tag. What I would expect:
1.) Search for Tags works with multiple tags (ideally AND/OR etc… would be supported)
2.) Filter for Tags in the files app (similar to the new filter for document types, however with the possibility to select multiple tags) - The Deck App provides such a filter.
A similar topic was discussed here: Search for tags in Hub 7 - #6 by shathippens

Tags are really powerful to organize stuff and I think it would really help a lot of people to organize (and find) large numbers of documents with tags.

To add ideas, there is the bug tracker that centralizes everything around the development. Please check out before related topic, some suggestions might already exist, and you see the status, if it is worked on, if there is a milestone set for it, …

You have a typo there. This is the correct link: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues

@KernSani did you create a feature request there? I am really interested in a more robust tag feature of NC aswell.

There are already multiple feature requests regarding tagging, I added my personal view to this one https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/4851
(which is pretty old, but newer feature requests were considered a duplicate to this)
