Tag management
Dear Zotero community
I experiment with using Zotero as a QDA tool. Therefore I also keep some of my research data in the Zotero library. I have been using tags to assign topics to content in notes and sources. I copy material from a source document and add topics to the notes with tags. Previously when I searched for a topic in the tag selector in the main library I would get a list of all the sources with collapsed notes under them that highlighted in what particular note I could find a specific tag. This was a good way to work with and organize the material. When I use the tag selector now It seems like only tags assigned to sources and not notes appear. Is this a change in a later update? Are there ways to enable the tag selector to search for notes?
Is the only alternative to use the advanced search tool where I do find this functionality i.e. sources with collapsed notes? The problem with the advanced search is that I experience that I don´t get a good overview as with the tag selector. I cannot see the right hand info pane for instance. Thanks in advance.

At least on a Mac, you have to press Return after changing the mode, which is arguably a bug.
I've restored the previous behavior in the latest Zotero beta.
