I have put search links on my home screen to help patrons who need a prompt. But I don't always like what comes up under the searches I run. Sometimes very strange books appear classified under something I would not classify them as. Is there a way to control this a bit more? Eg. If I want only the books that I have tagged "Classics" in my collection to appear under a search for "classics", and not just all-and-any that, say, have the word "classics" in their title, or in their reviews, or in who-knows-where-else it picks it up from, is there a way to do that?
Or is there some other way to have more input into what comes up in our search links? I haven't looked into linking to an advanced search - is that where I need to go next?
many thanks

You can search among tags only. LT catalogue search help might be useful as I assume it works the same https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/%22Your_books%22_Search

>1 RPCA:

TinyCat has an "Advanced Search" that allows you to limit the search to a specific field, such as tags.

You don't have to do an advanced search to get a specific tag link you want. For example:

or
