Users are discussing the confusing nature of tags, specifically with regards to synonyms and search functionality. Bathinda raised an issue where searching for a synonym tag (Tag1-S) yields zero results, despite the post being tagged with the main tag (Tagg1). supermathie shared a similar example with the tags #howto and #how-to.
Bathinda asked for guidance on how to force search to work with hashtags and inquired about the expected behavior when searching for a tag, specifically if it also searches for related tags. merefield and anon48433008 expressed their confusion with the synonym feature and suggested improvements, including collapsible tag category views for easier navigation.
Then I create a topic while choosing Tag1-S from dropdown, which automatically converts to main tag Tagg1.
But, just to see and record Tag1-S, I still write hash tag #Tag1-S in the end of the topic.
But problem now is that when users search for Tag1-S, the search (including AI search) show ‘Zero’ results. Is it intended behaviour?
Any suggestion? Is the hyphen hindering some good/intended behaviour?
P.S. If they search Tagg1, then the intended post does appear in the results.
Can you guide me how should we force it to search for hashtag (#howto in this case)?
And, if we search for tagg1, does it also search for a msg which has normal tags tagg2-tagg1 or Tagg3 Tagg1 (or or a msg having these hash tags, but different normal tags).
Not to muddy the water (post) I think tag category views should be collapsible , like the hide details option in posts, I have one group with hundreds of tags, collapsing it would shrink the page, make for easier navigation, which is their intended purpose if I’m not mistaken.
