Search by file tags and keywords

I hear Windows 7 has the option of adding tags to certain files (like images or documents).

I do not use Windows 7. I still use the old Windows XP. However, in Windows XP I can add keywords to any file I want. For instance, in the following image you can see me adding 3 keywords (meetings, important, howto) to a text file (example.txt) by right clicking the file, then selecting Properties and Summary:

picturehost.eu/uploads/8633b95372dcf34d4ff1bc6b6a5ebd7a_keywords.png

Is there a way to search a file using a tag or a keyword as a filter? For instance, let's say I want to find all documents that have "howto" keyword or all images that have "yellow" or "nature" tag. How can I do that?

I think this would be a great option to have, cause it will help us to better ogranize our image collections, more then just storing them into folders, to name only one positive effect.

Thank you.

Yes, you can use a plugin like shelldetails.
