Try this:

Go to the tags page:

  1. Click on a tag
  2. Click on the browser back button
  3. Click on another tag

You get a list of (only) questions that have both tags. This is counter-intuitive - I would expect a list of questions that have the tag I just clicked on.

fixed this particular issue, but I agree that there is still room for the improvement of the search function. Evgeny ( 2010-12-06 14:14:46 -0500 )edit

To make matters more confusing, searches that return no items do not list the current tags, so it could be very unclear what the problem is.

For example: http://askbot.org/en/questions/?tags=notags
