The *Server Search* option allows you to do a search of available tags for your device and then add those tags to the DeviceHub device.

Devices that support searching for device tags display a tag icon in the bottom-right corner of the device card.

**Note**: To use *Server Search*, you must know the tag names you want to add to your DeviceHub device and search for them before adding them. To view all available tags for a device before adding them, you can use [Browse Tags](docId\:ERWOvgcxgHT2hywad7EyF) instead.
