One extra thing that epiphany has that you didn't explicitelly showed in your mockup is, as you select/type tags, the "most popular and/or recent" section of the tag pane gets "related tags" thrown into its mix. Related tags are those which have been applied to objects along side the typed one(s).
Also, what completion should be made for text typed in the Search box? I think it best to only suggest tags, not only to make it simple (and performant), but also because the object entries results could be seen as already being suggestions. As for labels, there are the static saved searches (which may be usefull to collecting for a frozen bunch of "found" entries), and dynamic saved searches (your fuzzy idea! Perhaps more usefull to power-users, but that is the point of sugar, let kids reach for the sky, right?). Eben also suggested once just adding an extra unique tag to a bunch of different objects, thus making a static collection of objects (So you would archive a project called "Report on solar system", and this "label" would be added to photos, conversations, text, webpages, etc. which where part of it). Hope I've not confused this last part about collections and saved searches (it certainly is becoming confusing to me :) ) Eduardo 2008/9/24 C.
