Tags in YAML Frontmatter not appearing when I search Tags

Help
1

Things I have tried

I’ve only just began to use YAML.

Eg.

Title: Boxing Day 2021
Tags: #morningpages #todo
Created: 2022-01-26
Updated: 2022-01-26
Ratings: ★★★☆☆

however, when I search in for tags “tag:morningpages” on the left sidebar, this particular not does not appear.

It only appears if I had the tag #morningpages appear outside of the Frontmatter/YAML.

What I’m trying to do

Is it possible to search via tags and the note to appear if I have the tag in YAML front matter?

Thanks for any help in this.

Best,

Daryl

when putting tags in YAML front matter you should not put the # infront and separate tags by comma (ie. s/b morningpages, todo)

BIG THANKS!
That works now… But the only trouble is, without hitting the hashtag key, I can’t get it to autofill to see pre-existing tags without YAML.

I’m also having this trouble but it’s with both tags and aliases. I have tried the following formats and neither tags nor aliases are recognized. The YAML is displaying properly in edit and preview mode.

tags: piggy

tags: 
- piggy

tags: [piggy]

aliases:
- alias1

aliases: alias1, alias2

aliases: [alias1]

Any ideas?
