Answers.Body: <p>I'd answer this in a slightly different way, the question was tagging contributions and not contacts, my assumption is that there is a need to hold metadata against a contribution.

Comments.Text: As Pete says - but to make clear -, the answer is Adv Search, then add the Contributions criteria then Search and you'll get a list of contacts.  In Actions, select 'Tag - add to contacts' and select a tag.

ThreadText: # How to flag all contributors with a specific tag?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2021-05-11)
  
  I am wondering if it is possible to flag all the contacts who ever made a contribution in the past with a specific tag.
  
  When I search for the contributors and select all of them, no action is available to set a tag on them.
  
  If this is not available through the GUI, a MySQL statement could be a solution.

  Yes you can tag contacts from the search. Find Contribution list all the contributions and its not possible in current system to tag contribution, so action option would be available from Find contribution to tag the results.
  
  As said by username_2 and Pete, you will need to Advance search to the the contacts based on the criteria and choose the 'Tag - Add to contact' action.
