Pony wanted: tag search

November 16, 2006 11:51 PM

A pair of tag-related pony-requests: I've been looking for tag search for a while, and just today discovered it exists on the Metafilter search page. Would it be possible to:
- put a copy of the tag search on the "Tags" page?
- add the same sort of tag searching in AskMe?
Thanks!

Nobody uses the 'Tags' page.

Yes, this makes sense.

Who cares if "nobody" uses it? It's a logical place to put it, and it would almost certainly be just a copy and paste of the form HTML.

Nobody uses the 'Tags' page.

Except for people who are seeking out a tag-related feature.

I used the tags place until I figured out how to just use my navigation bar. I think it's a good idea.

I just looked at the 'Tags' page and wished I could see some 'Least Popular Tags' or 20 random tags. I don't know if anyone else would be interested in this, but there you go.

I was looking at the AskMetafilter tags page, in case anyone cares.

I also use the tags place sometimes. Low-impact feature additions would make me happy.

i think this is a good idea -- I've often looked around for tag searching in vain.

Do not remove this tag under penalty of law.

I would love this to be somewhere easy to find. I've been stuck clicking on other tags and switching around the URL. gah.

Nice to know that there's a real search page!

Holycow! There's a search page! Thanks!

The nav has a link to both the tags page and search pages (and yeah, I need to incorporate tag searching on ask mefi)
