Am I correct here? When you tag pictures, you can search from within photo
gallery, but not from the start menu? You can search file names for pics, but
not tags....

I just did a quick test jimmy, and I can find things using tags from within
the start menu.

Strange, i tagged a file with 3 different tags, and it only shows up with one
of the tags....

In photo gallery, only some tags will come up when searched. Even when you
go to the Navigation pane with the exact name of the tag staring you in the
face, photo gallery will still not bring up the photo. (And yes, I imported
the photo album with the tags into photo gallery). I'm very frustrated that
tags are HARDLY AT ALL SEARCHABLE.

There must be some configuration problem with your system.
I just tried searching for 'snow' in the start - search box, it came up with
several (not all, there are more than would fit) of pictures that have that
tag. Then I clicked on 'see all results' which brought up the search window
and showed me what I think is correctly everything.

My system is pretty plain Vista Home premium. The pictures in question are
in folders under 'Pictures'. Most of the tags were added in windows photo
gallery but some were imported with the pictures.
