How can I make an AND search with multiple tags in community discussions?

Using two or more tags to filter discussions is a very important tool for effective tag-searches. I suppose it is self-evident that this feature is included in this program, but I could not find instructions for it.

    • Add Topics: Topics are like tags in most other apps. When you ask a question, there is a spot underneath the box that allows you to Add Topic to share what your post is about. You can add more than one topic. You can Follow a topic you are interested in.

    Does this answer your tagging question?

    I could not find anything on tagging except this topics are like tags in most other apps. Yet to try it out.

    No, it does not. The purpose of my question is to find a way to use two or more tags simultaneously to filter the search result when discussions have two or more different tag-systems, eg FS category and discussion type.

    Your search works when you have the words in the text. I suppose it does not find tags, only words in texts. And, when I checked the search with your words, the result seemed to be an OR -search result = if I understood right, it included articles with only "icons", only "temple" and articles with both "icons" and "temple" words in the texts, not as tags. Correct me if my observations are wrong.
