I'm implementing David Allen's Get it Done into my work, and am adding tags such as @Action to the comments field. When I search on a site for @Action for example, zero results are returned. So does this mean you cannot search on data lists? Is there anyway to "tag" data list items so that someone&nbsp; can filter items from multiple lists by a keyword?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 11 May 2010 15:19:53 GMT gman 2010-05-11T15:19:53Z Search on data lists https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/search-on-data-lists/m-p/223805#M176935 I have created some data lists and have added items.
