After I complained about not being able to drill-down to find the intersection of multiple Google Labels, the bright idea appeared in my mind that there might be a way to "hack" it. Indeed, you can do it in GMail.
Click on a label heading and the Search Mail search box will show label:<label>.
To find the intersection of multiple labels, search for:
label:<label1> label:<label2> ... label:<labelN>
For example, if I want to find messages labeled both dance and pictures, type into the search box:
label:dance label:pictures
Label names with multiple words are separated by hyphens, such as:
label:Danse-Libre
Well, Blogger has a different user interface for searching for labels, and I haven't yet figured out a way to hack Blogger URLs to do the same if possible. The blog search box doesn't take the label keyword.
