Show me more show me more, is it love at first sight

I have found a bug. You can never get to the second+ page of a tag search.

This and This give you the same results.

No they don't. Page 2, which should be results 51-100 is actually results 1-100. Check the bottom of the second link. This is a known bug that's been brought up before, and I'm surprised it's still around.

Ah, ok. I got thrown by all the first ones being the same.
Anyway, still a bug.

This is the only-the-last-page-fails thing, right? With the last page being the fifty oldest matches rather than the proper remainder after the first page?

Let me know the fix, because I know someone whose brain works this way. If they're relating an incident and I don't quite catch a word or phrase part way through, I'll say, "You bought a what?", and instead of clarifying the word, they'll give me an exasperated little sigh and start at the beginning again. Every time.

Nonsense. A bug?
