No, a 'tag' is a common search term. e.g. A post about Holsteins could include the tags: milk,cows,bulls,holstein . These are meant to make searching for the topic easier. I'm also seeing a lot of search 'clouds' - graphic representations of the most used search terms/tags. Such a cloud may lead you to information without your needing to think of the 'proper' search term.
What's odd is a lot of software now is trying to get users to enter tags separately, but it seems to me as long as the relevant words are used in the posts then search engines shouldn't need the help to find things.
