Just curious... why would you want to use search for tags? You can just go to http://del.icio.us/tag/useful for anything that's tagged with "useful".
Is there something value-added to being able to search for a tag instead of just using the tag url? I'd like to know what new stuff you can potentially do... Thanks!
