Why do labels appear as tags in the Media Library search bar?

💻 Environment/Context

  • Media library
  • Media search
  • Labels
  • Tags

 

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • In Media Library, when you want to search for photos and select a label, it is added as a tag in the search itself.
  • When searching for media and selecting a label, the label gets added as a tag in the search bar. Is this a bug?

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • When you select a label, the system displays it as a tag-style chip in the search bar purely to show which filters are currently active. The label is not added as a tag to the media itself — the asset is unchanged.

 

  • The search works as intended: each additional label you add expands the number of media returned, and you can combine the selected label with any other tag to narrow your search further.
