Hi, a priori the Search bar searches only the elements which are included in your Inline list and detailed screen. So if your Tags are not referring to a component, the Search would not work.

More info: [Curious - What exactly does the search bar search? - #2 by Jeff\_Hager](https://community.glideapps.com/t/curious-what-exactly-does-the-search-bar-search/13667/2)

Nb1: a basic approach could be to create a text component referring to these tags, and hide it with a visibility condition which will never happen (ex. If eMail is “#@~”).

Nb2: Advanced approach is to build your own search bar  
In the editor:

- Template column aggregating your tags
- **User specific** text column
- Single value column on the user specific

In the screen:

- Entry text component referring to the User Specific text column
- Inline list filtered with “If _Template_ column includes _Single value_ column”
