Can I filter 'All Applications' using multiple tags in Microsoft Entra ID?

Question

Hi,

I am looking for more technical details about the filtering capabilities in the Microsoft Entra admin center (App registrations), as I couldn't find specific information on the official documentation site.

My questions are as follows:

1. Roadmap for Multi-Tag Filter: Currently, the UI only allows filtering by a single tag. Are there any plans to support multi-tag filtering (AND/OR logic) in the Entra ID portal in the near future?
2. Current Implementation of Tag Search: In my experience, the current tag search seems to behave like a SQL 'LIKE' operator (or a prefix/partial match). Could you clarify how the current search is implemented? Is it based on the startsWith OData function or a full-text search index?

I am curious if the lack of multi-filter support is due to the architectural constraints of the underlying data structure (string collection).

Looking forward to your insights.

Thank you.

The filter on Entra Portal only currenctly support one tag at a time. There is no road map for when this will be implemented. You are invited to create a feature request here. https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback

However, there are advance filtering capabilities that come with Powershel SDK or Graph Explorer

The closest I have gotten to is

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/applications?$filter=tags/any(c:c eq 'tag')&$select=tags

You can play around with this and see if you can fit startswith and contains or endswith on this query. Powershell should support this because it uses Graph internally.
