Hi,

I was wondering if Perlmonks could have tags like stackoverflow.com has,it proves to be a very good feature for finding what one searches for very fast,it's pretty handy. Looking forward to knowing what you think about this?

    You know, the gods did try to introduce it once, and if you look at your Nodelet Settings, you'll see there's even a Keyword Nodelet. We didn't develop it any further because we just don't have time and don't really know what to do with it.

    I personally add keywords in html comments to some nodes I wrote that I often want to find, so eg. I can SS for them eg. ?node_id=3989;BIT=kw%3A%20join;a=ambrus. This helps especially when the node I post is a reply and lacks some context in itself that's only present in the parent node, or if it's a reply that should be a meditation or obfuscation root node.

      nice , but I mean just like stackoverflow has them , they are present in any node and you can click on them and you will find every node that's identified by those tags . and even better , it's possible to start selecting tags and stackoverflow tells you how many nodes are there with those tags , and then you can just choose to see the nodes with those tags .
