tag+tag browsing in Ask Metafilter is returning unhelpful results November 14, 2005 11:32 AM   Subscribe

tag+tag browsing in Ask Metafilter is returning unhelpful results. A blank result is returned even if I click on the + off a single tag's page. WinXP/FireFox/Metafilthy.

Sorry if this has been posted before, any kind of search including the word tag on metatalk is pretty useless.

My previous report, which wasn't actually fixed and I forgot about, so good on you for posting it agin.

Maybe if you had searched the tags "tag" and "bug" you woulda found it. Ah, I'm just joshing ya.

Dang it, well at least this also reveals that clicking on the + on a tag's page doesn't work, it's not just searching.

lemme get on that. I spent about 10 min trying to fix it previously, to no avail.

fixed! (sometimes a fix takes 20 min, not 10)

Something changed in CF's url handling after a recent update. This was working fine a few months ago, but suddenly the + was being ignored and treated as a space.
