michael_6of7, I know this is pretty old, and that MS has introduced the "Find Tags" sidebar but I'm on a Mac with OneNote 16.70, and it still doesn't have any advanced tag searching.
Here is another workaround. Create a custom tag called "Done" and give it the same icon as the "To Do" tag. When you complete a task that has the To Do tag, instead of checking it, change the tag to the Done tag and check that. Or added it "pre-checked" by continuously clicking the tag in the ribbon bar. That will cycle through unchecked, checked, and no tag.
It's not super convenient, but at least now you can search for the "Done" tag in the basic (left side) search.
