Sorry for jumping into this thread at the wrong place. This is
really for Improbulus.
Tag searches are stemmed. Searching for tag:useful gets you tag:use
as well. The problem with "Use of Force" appearing is that it really
is tagged "use". Twice:

Hi, I've been trying out the new searching, but I am finding that
"tag:whatever" doesn't just look for that word in the tags, but
also related
tags in any of the fields (in title, extended description etc).
Example - search for say "tag:useful"
http://del.icio.us/search/?all=tag%3Auseful, there's an
item in the search results called "Use of Force" bookmarked by 26
people
http://del.icio.us/url/84f7c0e66daaba81840d5b73432136b8
none of whom have used the tag "useful" from the looks of it.
Is "tag:" nonetheless searching the other fields too? In the above
example,
even assuming it searches for synonyms, the word "use" doesn't
appear as a
tag in some of the items returned, though it appears in the title or
description.
Is there some synonym function at work for tag searching (picking
up on the
similar word "Use" here), and can one turn it on or off per search
please?
Or am I missing something?
