Thanks for the input Joe and dBera. 

One potential clarification on my thinking: I'm reaching for indexing with my 
own tagging only, not with the total del.icio.us data set...although this 
distinction may not change anything in your replies. The use case I'm reaching 
for is, like Beagle, constrained to finding content that I have previously 
viewed (and in this case tagged) contrast to discover of "new to me" content.

That said, your replies get me thinking about a broader Google and del.icio.us 
mash-up, with the resulting chuckle regarding hooking together competitors 
(with the Yahoo! acquisition), using del.icio.us tags to further boost Google 
relevancy. Outside the scope of this mailing list, although the thought also 
takes me back to what I really want is a SINGLE desktop search box that has an 
easy interface to constrain or expand scope across: 'universe', 'socially 
tagged internet, including what I have never viewed',  'only what I have 
previously viewed', 'intranet', 'my hard-drive' (or similar classification of 
broad to narrow scope, including the total universe of accessible content)
