I want to know if I can find a file by its folder tags. for Ex: I have 5 folder, each one assigned with multi tags. I want to look for a file named "dog" Only inside folders with "pics" tag
Is that possible?

Thanks for you reply, I have tried, but I want to restrict searching inside specific "folders" which have specific "tags"
Ex: search for file named "cover" Only inside folders which tagged "full hd"

Ok, now I see what you mean.

Afaik this is not possible. At least not in a single step.

But you can do that in a two step process.

1. Ctrl + F1
2. Go to the Tags tab and select all tags (via "Select Tags...") for the folders that you want to search in.
(2a.) If your files contain the same tags, go to the Attributes tab and activate the second checkmark
for "Directory"
3. Click "Find Now"
4. Click "Reset Filters"
5. Select all folders that have been found
6. Go to the "Name & Location" tab in the search bar again, click on "Selected locations" and enter your
search query in the "Name:" field
7. Click "Find Now"
