The Tag Results list

The Tag Results portlet shows a list of resources that have been tagged with the tags that you selected from the cloud.

For example, if you select the tag IBM from the tag cloud, the tag result list shows resources that have been tagged with the tag IBM.

The tag result list displays for each resource its name, the community tags, and the average community rating. You can choose between the summary and detail views by clicking the appropriate buttons. The summary view is the default. The detail view adds personal tags, both public and private, and optional descriptions for all listed tags. To switch between the summary and detail view, click the appropriate Display icon. The summary view is the default. You can sort the results by date, resource title, and rating. Resources shown in the tag result list might not always show the tags that you selected from the tag cloud to start the search. This depends on how the resource has been tagged by other users. If other tags have been applied to the resource more often than the tag by which you searched, then those tags will take precedence among the tags shown for that resource. By default the tag result list shows the three most popular tags. You can configure this number for the portlet by using the Personalize option from the portlet context menu. For details refer to the section about Configuring the tag result list.

When you are on the Tag Center page, you can select additional tags from the cloud to narrow down result list. To deselect a tag, either click it in the cloud or deselect it from the tag result list by clicking the X for that tag.

When you have several tags selected, you can choose between combining the tags by the logical operators and or or. The default setting is the or operator. To toggle between and and or, click the operator. You can only combine all tags by the same operator; you cannot connect multiple tags by different operators. This feature needs to be enabled by administrator.

The tag result list also shows the community rating for resources by a line of asterisks. The number of highlighted asterisks shows the average rating, for example 3 of 5 possible asterisks.


Configure the tag result list

By default the tag result list shows ten results per page and the three most popular tags for each listed resource; you can configure both these figures for the portlet by using the Personalize or Edit Shared Settings configuration option from the portlet context menu:

Administrators can enable or disable the option for users to toggle between the logical operators for combining tags. This setting can only be configured by using the Edit Shared Settings configuration option from the portlet context menu. It requires the appropriate role and access rights. If an administrator disables this choice for users, the operators are applied as follows:
