I always find it hard to work with tags, because if I can’t see the full list of tags, how can I figure out which ones to add?
For example, I get shown this when I click the menu:
But I have for example these ones:
It gets super hard to properly tag posts if all I can see is a few tags.
I’m not very interested in the most used, or the latest ones, or whatever system the software uses, because that doesn’t help. Can I bypass that and just have a scrolling list with all the tags? The search field is already super useful to find a specific tag, so having a full list would be great.

@alltiagocom Ik weet dat dit als opgelost is gemarkeerd, maar ik heb nog een paar vervolgvragen als u het niet erg vindt:
1. geldt die instelling voor alle categorieën of kan deze voor specifieke categorieën worden gedefinieerd?
2. kan de maximale diepte worden ingesteld op meer dan 20?
Bedankt,
Rubi

You can configure `max_tag_search_results` between 1 and 1000
It’s a site setting, so you cannot configure it per category

Even though you can’t set the setting per category, since you can restrict certain tags to certain categories, you won’t have ALL tags showing in certain categories. It’s not exactly what you probably want, but close, I believe.
I don’t think, for my personal workflow, that limiting the max of tags per category would make much sense, because as I mentioned, I like to know what I have available. I don’t mind scrolling. And if I know I want a specific tag, I can just type it.
I also don’t think that having 500 tags will do any good to the community, for example, so even 30 tags or so is probably enough? I don’t know… I’m just starting my 2 communities, so let’s see how that goes.

Actually, I was just thinking about this so it is very relevant.
Let’s say we have 200 tags on our site but when users select category A they will only see the tags associated with that specific category, maybe 50, and not all 200?
Is my understanding correct?

Ja, je kunt tags groeperen en zeggen dat categorie XYZ tags 1, 2 en 3 gebruikt, maar categorie ABC alleen tags 4, 5 en 6 gebruikt.
Ga naar de pagina met taggroepen (`jouwwebsite.com/tag_groups`) en je kunt dat daar beheren.
