Chapter 9 Streamlining Projects 73
If you wanted to find the schedule for ProjectZ and did a plain text search for “ProjectZ
schedule,” you’d find all pages that mention ProjectZ and schedule. Using a tag-based
search for “ProjectZ” will show you every page related to the ProjectZ project, which
you can then filter by using the “schedule” tag. You can easily find the page you’re
looking for without looking through a list of pages.
The following shows the results of two tag-based searches and how when you search
using both tags, you find the page related to both topics.
ProjectZ
Schedule
ProjectZ Plan
ProjectZ
Requirements
ProjectZ Team
ProjectY Schedule
ProjectX Schedule
Pages with
“ProjectZ” tag
Pages with
“schedule” tag
You can mix and match tags and plain-text searches to find specific pages. For example,
if you tag mailing list entries with their project name, you can later search for a phrase
in those entries and filter the search using the project tag.
Eliminating Duplicate Versions of Content
One problem with receiving project information through email is that as the project
changes and evolves, old information is left in email. For example, if you’re working on
a project named “ProjectX” that has gone through several schedule revisions, searching
for “ProjectX schedule” in Mail results in finding several schedule-related emails.
Some of these emails might mention ProjectX and the schedule but not include the
latest schedule, and some of them might include older versions of the schedule. Only
one email may have the latest schedule. You might even receive the schedule in an
email that doesn’t include the words “ProjectX” or “schedule,” in which case you won’t
find the schedule.
