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...?

When I first updated, I didn't see any of my tags. Now I see maybe a quarter of the tags that I had set up. None of the tags on my external hard drive show. The rest are kind of random as to what show up and what don't. That's about as specific as I can get...
The Finder tags survive on FAT32 and exFAT drives mounted to Sequoia v15.1. They are also retained on my Synology DiskStation NAS on a Shared drive being delivered as AFP over TCP/IP. They would not survive on a Windows NTFS drive, any Linux distro filesystem, or on a Cloud Service incompatible with Finder since tags are Finder extended attributes.

I have not paid attention to Finder tags/labels when uploading or when using in foreign filesystems but it seems to work in Safari when inserting images to this forum post.
I'm experiencing the same problem, and it's quite frustrating. For those wondering, here is a screenshot of what searching for the tags in Finder results in—nothing. It does not work when using the magnifying glass search and specifying tag:proposal, either.
All of my Finder-tagged files have not changed since the installation of Sequoia v15.1, or fail to be found using Spotlight using the tag or kMDItemUserTags reserved keywords.
Can you expand further on what you mean by "they are not working anymore" and the circumstances when they do not work?
I'm having to go through all my files and un-tag and re-tag all my marked folders to get them to show again. Very frustrating.
