The current tags management system can only view one or more tags,
that is, only tags(A or B or C).
I want to add a function to retrieve notes that meet multiple tags at the same time,
that is, to view tags(A and B and C)
This is the best way to use the tags system.
Thanks.

You can select multiple tags in Tags Explorer.

Re: Suggestions for improvement of Tags management system
+1 to the suggestion.
I've generated a small example in another program. 5 notes in total, each tagged with a fruit name and colours:
1) I click on tags while holding down SHIFT to filter notes tagged with either (green OR yellow):
2) I click on tags while holding down CTRL to filter notes tagged with (green AND yellow) at the same time:
3) I click on a tag and then hold down ALT and click on another tag to exclude notes with the second tag, i.e. (green NOT apple):
I can combine some of the above for a more complex filters.
4) (green OR yellow NOT apple NOT pear):
5) (green AND yellow NOT apple NOT pear):
Such tag-based quick filtering comes really handy.
EPIM's Tag Explorer can only do the same as in the first example, but not all the rest.
Regards

Re: Suggestions for improvement of Tags management system
Not sure if the rest is needed and will be expected by the users. Let's see whether they support the suggestion.

Re: Suggestions for improvement of Tags management system
Looks like I didn't make it clear.
Tas Explorer
A notes: tag1, tag2, tag3
B notes: tag1, tag3
C Note: tag1,tag2
I want to search the notes of tag1 and tag3. Only A and B should be displayed. I don't want to see the notes of C.
tag1 and tag3, NOT tag1 or tag3

Re: Suggestions for improvement of Tags management system
One suggestion: can you set different flags for each leaf,? Instead of now, all leaves of each note have the same tag. Or you can set an option to let users choose which one to use.
Re: Suggestions for improvement of Tags management system
+1. I would like to have tags' categories to use diferent types of classifications (I like how it's implemented in Videonizer app). Also it would be nice to filter notes by tags.

Re: Suggestions for improvement of Tags management system
God! I guess you've never used any other tags system.
The most effective and useful use of the tags system is to quickly search for pages with multiple tags at the same time.
The most useful search purpose is to find pages marked with (Tags1 And Tas2 And Tags3) instead of pages marked with (Tags1 or Tas2 or Tags3).
It is strongly recommended that you try other tags system. Such search is the soul of the tags system.
