How to include Tag names in AEM search query builder while Tag IDs are saved in the repository

[Former Community Member]

In AEM, how can we write a query as the default search works, where a Tag ID is saved for an asset, while the user wanted to search by the Tag Name/jcr:title?

For example, we can search for assets that has a particular Tag assigned. As below:

the way there are assigned is as follows:

And are saved in the repository as ID's.. as below:

For example, a tag hierarchy:

**TAG ID:**

 /etc/tags/SXM/shows/entertainment/kids/8216/1073743514

The TAG NAME for the above:

SXM > Shows > Talk > Kids > Kids Place Live > Weird Al April

I tried the below but does not work?

    type=dam:Assets
    path=/content/dam/
    tagsearch=SXM:Shows/Talk/Kids/Kids Place Live/Weird Al April

Hi,

try below:

type=dam:Assets

path=/content/dam/

nodename:metadata

property=cq:tags

property.value=SXM:Shows/Talk/Kids/Kids Place Live/Weird Al April

Thanks @ArunPatidar . But that did not work.

After some trials i was able to get this to work. There is a predicate tagsearch that would build the tag hierarchy to the search query.

The below worked for me:

type=dam:Assets
path=/content/dam/
tagsearch=Weird Al April

type=dam:Assets
path=/content/dam/
tagsearch=Kids Place Live

type=dam:Assets
path=/content/dam/
tagsearch=Kids

Hi,

Just noticed one thing there is no type dam:Assets but dam:Asset

I think you can remove type from search otherwise it will be throwing errors.
