Tags in Finder not working with Sequoia?
I've got my files organized and my workflow expedited using the color tags in Finder - it appears they are not working anymore now that I've updated to Sequoia...?
How do I add the root of my hard drive?
Question marked as
Go to System Preferences, then Spotlight, then Search Privacy. Then hit the + button and add the root of the hard drive so it will be excluded from Spotlight (see screenshot below). Wait about five minutes, then remove it from the exclusion list using the minus button.
Spotlight will then start rebuilding its index. After a while, all tagged files should reappear, and Finder search results should work properly.
I hope this helps!

I'm having trouble with the phrase, "the root of the hard drive," I don't know what that means. Do you mean selecting my hard drive or do I have to navigate somewhere?
Cool!! That worked - and it also worked when I excluded and included my external hard drive.
I thank you and my work flow THANKS YOU!!! Phew!!
What worked? file search or tags come back either blank or incomplete. Very frustrating. Using 15.1 on an M2Pro - never had any issues with previous versions.
After excluding and then removing the exclusion of hard drive, the finder search started working. But the tags issue is still the same. Did anyone have any breakthroughs?
Tags are visible in Finder, but the associated files are missing. I attempted the index rebuild suggestion, but it did not resolve the issue.
