Hi, I’m not clear on how I can search by tags that I have allocated to contacts.

Can someone share how I do this?

Apologies in advance if this is a very basic thing! Thanks

For example:  
tag:seed - will filter for contacts with the tag called ‘seed’.

Good luck.

Yes that worked thanks.

I noticed that if there are two words in the tag, e.g. “link building” then it doesn’t work so well.

Thanks all the same
