I just the free desktop version to help be able to tag a lot of screenshots and pdfs I have on my computer. I tagged about 200 files with about 50 different tags. When I went back to the homepage and looked at the tags, none of them were there. I added a few manually, but why wouldn’t the tags I created show up somewhere in a list?

Second, when I search for a particular tag, nothing shows up. What am I doing wrong?
