Hi Greg,
Thanks for your response.
Let me explain the requirement in-detailed:We have a set of videos and images added in Dropbox in various folders. Every file is associated with some tagnames. Further, I’ve developed a web page where it has a search box and entering a keyword, it should pickup all the files from dropbox. I am using 2/files/search_v2 API. It is working fine when I search with the file name/title. But it is not considering the tagnames. How can I implement this? Apart from the filename/title, it should return the relevant videos/pictures when searched with tag names as well. Hope this clarifies. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the additional information. Just to clarify a bit further, are you referring to tags applied to items using the Dropbox web site or /2/files/tags/add, or something else?
