The global search considers each URL distinct with all the associated
metadata from all users; not all of the data is displayed.
I used "theoretically" because the specified request had no results.
/tag finds POSTS (not urls) ordered by time.
I'm considering other operators (probably ANY instead of ALL) but
stuff like NOT can be very very expensive.

Joshua,
Eg.1
Is there a difference between the tag intersection:
http://del.icio.us/tag/restaurants+dining
(over 200 hits)
Eg.2
and using the search bar: tag:restaurants tag:dining
http://del.icio.us/search/all?search=tag%3Arestaurants+tag%3Adining
(Under 30 hits)
When you search for 2 tags together (2nd example) what's the
implied boolean operator?
It can't be AND, this is what the first example shows, and the
difference in hits is quite great, and it can't be OR as this would
be an even bigger result
...so what is the 2nd example actually searching?
Also if you look at the tags next to each bookmark in the 2nd
example, the tags restaurants, dining don't even appear half the
time...is this an error?
I also added a free-text term with this search: tag:restaurants
tag:dining table
http://del.icio.us/search/all?search=tag%3Arestaurants+tag%3Adining
+table
The term "table" only appears in half the bookmarks, what's going on?
I just noticed you used the word "Theoretically" in your response,
is this something your working on?
So del.icio.us has 2 separate search boxes:
1. search for a tag/s (use + to add tags)
2. search the entire site
Firstly a great feature would be the other operators, such as NOT,
OR, *(stemming)
Now once you have found your tag, or combination of tags by using
search for a tag/s (No. 1 above), then it would be good to search
within your results (using No. 2)...ie. search within in a sub-set
of del.icio.us.
In the response you gave to Mark, it seemed you were demonstrating
the 2 step search I mentioned above in the one go using the search
box "search the entire site".
