Just mentioning it, since it is an inconsistency. > Browse is meant to be a view of modules put into categories, whereas a search can be a more complex way of 'browsing' the site. You could argue that the two should be alike, but then you could also argue that it would confuse someone who is looking at one tag, then wants to switch to another, that he/she first have to remove one tag and add a new, or it'd display those modules who have both tags, so it's a trade-off between simplicity and complexity. For me, the browse feature should just be a fast way to see the most popular modules in each respective category, not in any way a complex tool for searching, as the search feature does that just fine.

I believe we can both implement and improve the new system at the same time, one thing doesn't have to put a stop to the other. With regards, Daniel.
