TIL: Using MacOS tags for better search

Preparing for visas is a nightmare for a normal person and might be a sweetspot for those who has OCD. My docs are messy, but at least I keep them in one place in the cloud. I come up with a certain structure like Docs/Igor/smth/ etc. Clicking every time to multiple folders to open them and search for files was a normal routine, because I didn't pay to much attention to it.

Yesterday, looking for my son's passport details I finally realized how time consuming it is and thought – this is it 😃

After short research I came to a structure recommended by ChatGTP

01_Personal/
	IDs/
    	Igor/
        	Passports/
            Residency_<country-code>/
        Family/
        	<wife-name>/
            	Passports/
            	Residency_<country-code>/
            <son-name/>
            	Passports/
            	Residency_<country-code>/

Each file has certain tags: legal , me , family , ru , es , travel , freq.

A bunch of smart folders which helps access the most frequently accessed documents and couple of Alfred keywords (which I'm still learning) following this tutorial: https://www.alfredapp.com/blog/tips-and-tricks/3-ways-to-use-osx-tags-for-better-search/
