There is a system of diary tagging. Not a perfectly conceived list, true, but it's there. Who uses it?

(Hint: no one, or almost).

There is? Where?

On other group-blogs I have used tags, mainly from a list someone else made. In general if it comes at the right point in the process (after writing, before preview and publish) and it can be accessed easily from a reader perspective, I think it would be used.

There's plenty to criticise about it: the list isn't well-thought-out, and it isn't mentioned in "How to post a diary" in the User Guide. Above all, there's only one possible choice. But you can use those topic tags to filter your search results in the (awful) Scoop Search function. Which might be useful if everyone used them whenever possible.

I seem to recall there being a bug in that function. I take it it was resolved, then? Or am I misremembering?

Never heard of that. If you're right there was a bug (discussed where?), I doubt if it's been fixed.

Re: Incidentally... (none / 0)

A quick test of the Search function reveals that... you're right. It will bring up a result based on the text entered, irrespective of the topic tag.

More Scoop magic.
