Searching Using the MacOS Tags - not working?

[billiesoniq]

I think I am going crazy. I have Alfred using the default "tags" keyword. When I type "tags" it even asks, 'search the OS by tags'. but, when I type A TAG, it changes to searching google. What am I missing?

Those are Alfred's fallback searches. If your actual search doesn't return any results, Alfred shows you those instead.

 

Note that the tags keyword only searches in your default Search Scope (I think. It certainly doesn't find anything anywhere else on my machine.)

Thanks for that reply - I did find that in reality, I didn't have any tags on the MAIN HD, which was part of the problem. When I added the external drive to the search scope, TAGS started to work.
