Right. But isn't that approach more about *finding your own posts? *I've done that a bit myself. By, for instance, using an ODD string on posts sometimes, e.g. "Houston, I have a problem <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tiddlywiki/houston$20I$20have$20a$20problem%7Csort:relevance>". That helps ME find my posts. But it does not help anyone else as they won't know my weird phrase ... ? My tentative idea with using tags more is to NARROW the search scope so you don't get deluged in irrelevant items. But it is best be used with a text search too. Here is an example that illustrates a decent narrow result: tag:announcement AND tag:resource AND "regexp"... <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tiddlywiki/tag$3Aannouncement$20AND$20tag$3Aresource$20AND$20%22regexp%22%7Csort:relevance> If you just entered "regexp <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tiddlywiki/%22regexp%22%7Csort:relevance>" you'd just get swamped. So tags, I think, may help us. The *downside* is tagging is voluntary on post. The *upside* is ANY user can add them later.
