Multiword tags, tags with punctuations, and tag-based searches 
« New release, new search and new tag features | Main | Categories vs. Keywords vs. Labels vs. Tags »
Here is a question for the readers of this blog, as well as the wider community that deals with tags. This question was actually raised yesterday by a Simpy user and, wanting to hear what others think, I posted the question on the simpy-user list.
Imagine a tag such as "full-text". There are no spaces nor commas, so I think everyone will agree this should be handled as a single tag. However, should it be handled as a single token? In other words, should a search for tags "full" or "text" find items tagged with "full-text"? Similarly, should a search for "full-text" tag find items tagged with only "full" or only "text"?
What do you think?
