To be fair, the problems are largely related to the changes involved in implementing tags. I mean, it's good that the Finder treats tags and labels identically, but it would be quite wrong for mdfind or even tag to ignore what you ask for and look for something more in the Spotlight data.

Hey Shane,

I'm not really complaining about the scripted methods of finding these files.  I am complaining that very frequently I cannot find files on my system that I know are there and should be discoverable.

Anyway, this uses much the same method as tag -m Red -d (and will similarly take a while) -- I'd be curious what number it returns there.

It finds 618 items.

It takes about 2 minutes to run from Script Debugger with debugging off, and about 10 seconds less when run from the Script Editor.

So it has parity with tags in found items and approximate run-time.

Take Care,
Chris
