Prefixes are unneeded, search support all or any tags. I tag bugs along two axis. I first tag the bug to describe the affect objects (teams, bugs, mirrors projects codereviews). I then tag the interaction (api, ui, email, tech-debt). Some bugs get extra tags to describe scope (trivial for fixable in an hour or easy for a day)
Every day I view Lp's bug sorted from newest to oldest, and I tag the bugs that recognise. -- Curtis Hovey http://launchpad.net/~sinzui
