Selecting multiple tags?

Holding down Control when selecting a couple of TG Themes doesn't seem to work. Is this broken?

Same result with TG Elements. The first element selected takes me to all stories with that element alone, whether or not I'm holding down Ctrl (or Ctrl + Alt) simultaneously.

I wish I could figure this out.

Selecting multiple tags? #2

Possibly my question is silly, so let me ask another.

Is multiple tag selection available solely for authors to classify their stories, or is it intended also as a story search capability?

Thanks.

Advanced Search

Click the greybox labeled Search near the top right hand of the main screen. This will take you to a screen where you will find an "Advanced Search" tab. Advanced Search can search for words you specify and limit that search to categories.

Otherwise at this time there is multi-category search.

What am I missing?

It seems that the tags page consists entirely of links so CTRL-click just opens the link in another window (or tab, depends on your browser)

The advanced search allows selecting several tags but
(a) The number of entries is too large, and
(b) it requires a search term

How does one display all the stories that satisfy multiple criteria?
I miss the flexible search options of Fictionmania

Advanced Search

Click on Search. On the new page, there's an Advanced Search link. Click that. Then you can use the roller there to choose categories, one or more. Closer to what you want, I think.

BC will have more FM-like searches as soon as I can get them to work reliably. :)
