Searched and read a couple similar posts, but haven't understood yet how to search for folders that have for instance a Label of color Blue? Thanks for help.
Looks okay. I'd add type to speed things up a bit:
type match folders and label match Blue nowild
Matching Type then Label may be faster than vice versa. (Note the order Lxp used, too.)
Do the quickest tests first, in general, so the slower tests can be skipped if the item already failed the first tests.
Oh yeah! it's MUCH faster to optimize the order like that, thx -
as terrific as Everything Search is,
I know there's magnitudes more within native dOpus the way y'all code it,
and I appreciate every new learning I can internalize.
If you have a big pile of files and folders (especially on HDDs) to search you could use Everything to generate a list of folders and then have Opus check these folders for labels.
The Everything tool has tried to support OpusMetaInformation, although it is currently garbled, but it may be possible to use script search.

Ability to Search Tags
Thanks @Wken for this info & linking to that post
Looks like it was working from the posts you linked to.
But if it isn't and there's any extra info we can provide on our side, we can help with that.
Ev can read tags, ratings and comments saved by Opus, but not labels.

IMHO it would be great if you could collaborate with void in that aspect, for better interaction between both programs.
I guess a problem with labels would be that some of them are defined by rules (e.g. a wildcard) rather than written into the filesystem (NTFS ADS).
The ones written into NTFS ADS should have a GUID for the label(s) which can be turned into a name via the definitions in:
%APPDATA%\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\ConfigFiles\colorgroups.oxc
Matching all labels would be a lot more complex, and it probably wouldn't make sense for Everything to re-implement everything, as it'd have to keep being updated as we make changes. We could provide an API to query the labels for a list of paths, or something along those lines, maybe.
