This sounds like what is referred to as "related" search to me (with a
distance of 0).

No, I think this does not work. When searching e.g. for licq or perl
(basically every package where the search result contains more than the
entered package) the selected tags do not contain all tags of the
original package, and may contain others.

Nevertheless, it might be a good idea to implement this. But it should
be implemented using the related search. 
Note that as I pointed out in [1] I think that the term "related" is
misleading, because the search is for similar and not related packages.

Best regards 

Ben
