Apologies, forgot to send my reply under the alias I used for this list so it bounced. Here it is.

Lindsay, I'd like to be able to combine searching of tags with searching of specific words which do NOT occur in tags - I think that
would come in useful. (Though it seems the present searching also searches all tags as well as the other fields).
Rocco, thanks for the explanation. I'd like to be able to turn off stemming in searching. Presumably you don't get the stemming
effect if you use the direct URL rather than searching?
And I'd still be grateful to know why a tag: search seems to search in the other fields (like title) and not just tags, is that a
bug?
Cheers
Imp.

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:
