Try this:

Go to the tags page:

Click on a tag
Click on the browser back button
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.

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
