I don't think this is strictly true, as personal tagging is inherently inconsistent, and the tags we use change over time as the associations we make with a particular item or subject change over time. Tagging is meant to be instinctual, so search has to be flexible when looking for matching results. Also, I think that "search" is a completely different function from directly querying the tagged items by tag. The search engine is working hard to find items that *may* be useful, and finding related items using other users' tags seems like the best possible thing for the system to do. In this context, you can't possibly expect 100% matches when you're searching--if so, what search engine has you so incredibly spoiled? 8^) -- Brian Del Vecchio | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://hybernaut.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@del.icio.us http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
