Libraries - Using plus (+) or alternatively an AND operator

I'm setting up a library for the purpose of notifications and want each node to include 2 tags: TagA AND TagB. If I just enter those tags I get sensors that have either TagA OR TagB. The documentation indicates I can use a plus (+) sign for tags that MUST be included, but that doesn't seem to be working. If I enter just +TagA (or +TagA; +TagB) I get no sensors on that node, and if I was to guess it looks like its looking for sensors with the tag "+TagA"

What am I doing wrong to use the + on a tag? Is there another way to say TagA AND TagB?

You'll need to use + for both tags, that'll do:
[+TagA] [+TagB]

I certainly tried that, but it wasn't working which is why I made this post. However, I think I found the issue. If I just type "+TagA" <enter>, then type "+TagB" <enter> it doesn't work. I have to type in "TagA" and select it from the list of tags, and once that tag is added I can go back and add the (+). Then do the same with TagB.

Are you using the Tags or Tags Filter field in the map options? The latter one is the correct one and will work as expected. You'll need to finish entering the tag with the tab button and then click the field again to add another tag.

I was using the Tags Filter on the library. You are right that you need to enter the tag name then tab (or start entering and select from list). The issue is you cant do that using a pre-pending (+), so first you have to enter/select the tag, then go back and add the (+) after.

You can enter [t][a][g] and go to the beginning of the word using the Pos1 key as well. That should make it easier :)
