How do I search for questions and blog posts that have a particular tag?

[Arnold1]

In SAP Community, how do I search for questions and blog posts (other content if applicable?) that have a particular tag?

[former_member186338]

This question was asked already number of times! Why not to search?

The answer is simple - no way!

I tried to search but I got a raft of irrelevant results. There needs to be a hierarchical tag view page that helps you get right tag. When I just tried searching for the subject of this question, it returned:

Hi Arnold, We launched a new search experience that will allow you to search for content associated to a particular tag. Please visit https://community.sap.com/search/ and let us know if this is what you were looking for.

For more information about the search capabilities, check the announcement in the What's News page https://community.sap.com/resources/what-is-new

This is great! Finally, there is a solution for retrieving the wealth of knowledge from SAP Community.

To everybody: Try it out.

Hi arnold.spaeing hi sladebe,

for anyone interested in questions and blog posts in a specific tag, this is the recommended path:

1) Search for the tag you're interested in on this page https://answers.sap.com/tags.html (You will see "All tags" in the drop down menu of the "Answers" tab at the top of each SAP Community page. The same if you search for blog posts under "Blogs")

2) Click on the tag and you will see an overview of all questions posted with this tag. Please click on "Follow".

3) Either on answers.sap.com or on blogs.sap.com, you can then select the tag from your followed tags list.

This will provide you an overview of questions and blog posts in a particular tag.

Best regards

The web page https://answers.sap.com/tags.html is hidden under:

• answers.sap.com -> Popular Tags -> View All

I read this as "View All" popular tags, not view all tags.

Once in the "View All" tags screen (https://answers.sap.com/tags.html),searching for "databases" doesn't find all database related tags. It's only a simple literal search.

But this doesn't change the fact that, in the "show all questions for a tag" screen, the search field doesn't intuitively search for the current tag.

And, in fact, there's no way to search within a tag.

Hi Mynyna,

thank you for the answer.

Your procedure concludes in a feature requests:

For step 1: Offer an options to search for different tag categories (see https://community.sap.com/resources/questions-and-answers#using-tags ) + all available tags (currently there are primary tags only).

For step 3: Combine the option of displaying tag-related content with search. This is also know as faceted search.

Would be great to see this in future.

With warm regards

Arnold

Upvoting, because I've been looking for this feature for a long time.

In StackOverflow, I can do something like "[hybris] backoffice" if I wanted to search for backoffice-related questions under the "hybris" tag.

I've seen vadim.kalinin 's answer, and kind of understand why it can't be supported: https://answers.sap.com/comments/724613/view.html However, SAP could still support this for questions that already have a tag (just ignore those that do not have tags), unless there is some technical limitation.

I've also seen vervinckt.joyca 's request for this feature: https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/idea/220019 I've voted on it. 🙂 There is a suggestion from john.leggio to use the Google custom search in the mean time: https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=009194390304063612809:cbwtqsy50-o&q=test#gsc.tab=0

Hi vadim.kalinin, you asked "Why not to search?"

Search often provides too many results. For example if I wish to find all results related to product such as "SAP Marketing Cloud". Compare on your own:
* Search

* Tag

Multi-word search terms are difficult to search for. On the other side, product names are changing over the years, and via tags can be connected to relevant articles of a particular product.

What I am asking for is an UI to trigger results as provided for example here: Tag. To get this one, I needed to identify the tag code and paste it into the URL

[former_member186338]

The reason for not providing search within particular tag is clear for me:

All archive questions has no tags!

If somebody will search using tag then nothing will come from archive.

I have explained it already.
