</div>

I’m uploading lists (CSV) and added tags using Mautic to some of them so that I could find particular users within each segment. But now I can’t find any way to find or filter contacts by tags (already tried searching for **tag:\*** , but no luck).  
  
  
  
If there any way to find these contacts?  
  
  
  
Also, in the future will there be a way to give points based on acquisition of someone with a certain tag?  
  
  
  
Thanks ahead of time for your help!

There was a complaint about search by tag before ( [https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/2416#issuecomment-243460282](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/pull/2416#issuecomment-243460282) ). It seems like a bug. Please, create a new issue here: [https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues)

i had the same issue

i use this quick and dirty solution

i use the code in the Lead Repository.php from version 2.1.0 and it works again

replace with the following code: (its easy to find the right place)

`case $this->translator->trans('mautic.lead.lead.searchcommand.tag'):
                // search by tag
                $sq = $this->_em->getConnection()->createQueryBuilder();
                $sq->select('x.lead_id')
                    ->from(MAUTIC_TABLE_PREFIX.'lead_tags_xref', 'x')
                    ->join('x', MAUTIC_TABLE_PREFIX.'lead_tags', 't', 'x.tag_id = t.id')
                    ->where(
                        $sq->expr()->$eqFunc('t.tag', ":$unique")
                    )
                    ->setParameter($unique, $string);
                $results = $sq->execute()->fetchAll();
                $leadIds = array();
                foreach ($results as $row) {
                    $leadIds[] = $row['lead_id'];
                }
                if (!count($leadIds)) {
                    $leadIds[] = 0;
                }
                $expr = $q->expr()->in('l.id', $leadIds);
                break;`
