If you have Mavericks installed there will be a little icon near the top of the screen that looks like a tag. So highlight/select an item (in this case an alpha; I'd use the preview), then click on the tag icon. You can create a new tag category right from there, and the next time you click on the tag icon it will be a drop down option. You can add the tag categories to your sidebar so the next time you want to run that search you just click on the category. Even if you still have Mountain Lion there is a limited ability to tag using the colors.
I used to have a very intense and well organized tagging system through ACDSee, but my version of ACDSee is incompatible with Mavericks. Apple doesn't really do well with ACDSee anyway (lots of spinning ball and shutting down the program at inopportune times), so now I just tag previews throught the Mac tags and it is way more efficient.
