You can try using the following:
set tags=tags,tags;/
This uses the tags file from the current directory or searches for the
tags file from the current directory and in it's parent directories.
or
set tags=tags,./tags;/
This uses the tags file from the current directory or searches for the
tags file from the directory of the current file and in it's parent
directories.
