Sounds like they are trying to embed the search semantics in the data storage. Why not treat search as a distinct problem?


Yes. Clicking a tag is like searching for a single word. The crux is that tags add useful metadata that may not be in the content it is supposed to tag. Maybe instead of modeling tags separately from content, metadata should simply be joined into the content itself at the end, and then searched using the same text search tools used for content?
