searching with tags in digiKam


I am starting to use digiKam for my image library. So far it seems great but I do have one question regarding searching. I would like to run a search for any images that have specific tags associated with them. If I choose two tags I want all images that have BOTH of those tags, not simply either tag. I ran the advanced search and chose "Meet All of the following conditions" but that did not do it.

Thanks

I'm going to 'bump' this with a bit more explanation of what I'm looking for. I have lots of images of lighthouses, lots of winter images, and some images of lighthouses taken in the winter. I have a tag 'lighthouse' and a tag 'winter'. I want to run a search for all images of lighthouses in the winter and I can't seem to do this. If I choose both the 'lighthouse' tag and the 'winter' tag I simply get all lighthouse images and all winter images; I do not get only lighthouses taken in the winter.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I figured it out. Under Tools > Advanced Search there is an option to add a search group. Choose this and then change the OR to an AND, choose the next tag. Do this for as many tags as you need.
