Multiple Tag Toggle in Max OS X Finder

I love using Tags on the Mac. I think there should be an easy way to search for multiple tags at once.
Sometimes finding a file can take a long time, even when you take the time to tag all your files. By adding a series of Toggles or Checkboxes next to your tag list in Finder could make finding just the right file drastically easier, and faster.
Let's say you're looking for a spreadsheet with a chart that you used in a proposal for a renewal you completed a while back. If you took the time to tag your documents or folders, you could search for the Proposals Tag, but maybe you have hundreds of those, including some that were just drafts... if you decided to search for Spreadsheets, good luck, you've got thousands of those.
Right now, you can easily select any one tag at a time, but instead of selecting one tag at a time, using checkboxes or toggles can make a huge improvement on finding what you're looking for.
So, why not tell finder you are looking for Completed, Proposals, Charts, Spreadsheets, and Renewals... all at once. That should make the list pretty short, so you spend less time searching and more time working.
