Searching for two popular tags as an unregistered user in the search entry field on the top right of an SE page, searches instead for questions tagged with only the first search term. For example, on Arqade, searching for steam achievements runs a search for questions tagged with  and ignores achievements.  I also found the same issue when searching for bash zsh (both of which are among the more popular tags) on U&amp;L. I cannot reproduce this when logged in and it only seems to affect searches whose search string consists of two popular tag names. Lesser tags and non-tags work as expected. As does searching for the same two words on the search page (the one where the results are shown) also works as expected, so this is specific to the top right search field. When searching for a word that also happens to be a tag, I want tagged posts to be included but I don't want my search to be limited to them. Also, when I enter two search terms I expect to search for both of them, the system shouldn't eat one of them. Finally, the search bar and the search page should return the same results.  Note that this is not the same as the bug described in  since the search terms here were not entered as tags but as strings. This means we have multiple bugs:  Non-logged in users who search for two tags, only get results for one (which is addressed in the post above); Search strings that happen to be tags are automatically converted to tags when searching (foo becomes [foo]) which is not always what one wants, but which might be . Search strings that happen to be tags are removed when non-logged in users search.

When I input [asdf][lisp] into the search field on , without being logged in, only one tag remains. Is it broken?

suggested to have templates for tags. Their example was with the  tag on Stack Overflow.  I'm suggesting a more general approach:  Templates, Mark II  I suggest that each site will have a template. That template will prefill the  textbox when a new question is asked. However, it will be completely optional.  Something like (for Stack Overflow):  ## The Problem ## { Please tell us what the problem is with as many details as possible.   Include language, operating system, and any other relevant information.   Remember to add the relevant tags below, too. } ## Attempted Solutions ## { Please tell us what you've tried so far. Have you tried searching Google?    What queries? } ## Existing Code ## { Do you have any existing code to show? Please keep it short and simple.    We should be able to detect the problem right away. }   Why am I suggesting this?  Well, it seems as though most users will stick with the default. They don't bother to read, and so prefilling the question form for them with information that we know might be relevant, will forceWe'll get to that in a second them to actually stop and read.  Scenarios:   Best case: User arrives to ask a question, actually reads the template, fills the correct information in the placeholders. (Yeah, because that'll happen a lot) Neutral: User simply removes all of the template text and rewrites their own question. Result is exact same as we have currently. Worst case: User will ignore or misunderstand the template, will use it wrong or not at all and we'll get something like  &lt;template text here, still unfilled&gt; &lt;(crappy) question&gt;   This can be solved in a couple different ways. We could detect the template tags (i.e. { }, subject to discussion), and throw an error when a user attempts to post with them still available. We could also act more autonomously and remove placeholders which still exist.    Some more points:   Templates should be per-site, not per-tag. Sure, there are differences between the tags, but all questions are expected to have the same general information, and this isn't meant to be a rule, but a guideline to help write better questions. Site templates should be editable by that site's mods, like close reasons. We could autofocus on the first placeholder, and perhaps implement TAB to jump from one placeholder to the other, similar to mixins in IDEs. This doesn't have to be implemented everywhere. This suggestion makes sense to Stack Overflow or Superuser, but not to Anime &amp; Manga or Gaming All of the details are subject to discussion, and all discussion is welcomed.

When you click on someone's profile tags, it shows a search of posts by that user on the selected tag. However, the tag description appears twice in the page and there's not much left for the actual content you want to see.      The image was taken from my profile. Also not sure why it shows me a user id instead of my username.

I've searched for this specific answer with no luck. I want to be able to filter unanswered questions with [tag1] AND [tag2], but it doesn't seem to work for unanswered.  When I use a link like this:   Even though it has a "+", it still treats it as an OR. I want unanswered questions containing both tags. Is this possible? Unclear if this is a possible bug/feature/ or user error.

I'm able to search for the newest questions tagged with [xcode] and [ios] and score >= -2.    But I see 0 results when searching for the newest questions tagged with [xcode] or [ios] and score >= -2.

This URL specifies a tag search for Go jobs ("tag/go"):    However most of the results aren't tagged "go." (Tags are indicated by blue rectangles.)  Instead, results include jobs that merely refer to the keyword in the body of the post. A tag search should only display careers that are tagged with the search term.  Note that this is true of any term, not just "go," which is admittedly more generic. Searches for "ruby" or "python," for example, reveal the same issue--results that aren't tagged with "ruby" or "python."  A tag search should only search tags, exactly as implied by the URL.

I wanted to look for some questions to answer, so I went to . It came up with some really weird tags, as seen in this image:        , , , , and  are the tags in which I have the most posts. I also have  that has the tags , , and .  When I clicked on |bug|reputation|achievements-dialog|:        After I gave myself a favorite tag it acted as normal filtering the unanswered questions by that tag.

I want to filter questions based on some tag that I enter in the search bar in the  Tag section of the mobile version of Stack Overflow. But when I write my tag name inside the search bar &amp; hit enter, it does nothing. I tried entering the tag names inside square brackets as well but still nothing happens. At first I thought the problem would be with my browser so I switched to Google Chrome mobile version and guess what? It doesn't work there either. Why doesn't it work? is this some kind of known bug?  Browsers tested on:   Uc &amp; Chrome  My Phone:   Lenovo p2  Os: Android   7

Here's a scenario:  Someone asked about "How to build a SQL query to get count and blah blah blah..."  His only tag is . I added the  and  tags to it.  Someone else answered with a nice SQL statement that has a "group by" statement which seems "logically inevitable".  I proceed to add a tag . I did that on the basis that someone who searches for  will be able to find this post useful, just as I did. My concern is, it wasn't described at all in the question, nor was it implied, unlike  and .  What is the community opinion?  The scenario above is a real one . And the one who answered it nicely is Jon Skeet.

I several days ago somewhere read that category and tag pages should be noindexed. But later on somewhere else, I read that, they only increase rank for search term, but overall traffic decreases- said one from his experience.  So, if I just concern about traffic, not about individual search term that much, should I make those category and tag pages as indexed to google? I am confused which is the best to do.  Thanks in advance.  Regards Rana

I'm trying to get a case-insensitive search with two strings in JavaScript working.  Normally it would be like this:  var string="Stackoverflow is the BEST"; var result= string.search(/best/i); alert(result);   The /i flag would be for case-insensitive.  But I need to search for a second string; without the flag it works perfect:  var string="Stackoverflow is the BEST"; var searchstring="best"; var result= string.search(searchstring); alert(result);   If I add the /i flag to the above example it would search for searchstring and not for what is in the variable "searchstring" (next example not working):  var string="Stackoverflow is the BEST"; var searchstring="best"; var result= string.search(/searchstring/i); alert(result);   How can I achieve this?

In my retagging madness today, I came across a few questions tagged similar to the following:  [visual-studio], [visual-studio-2005]  My question is: should questions be tagged like this with both tags, or is it better to only apply the more descriptive/precise tag? How would this affect searching?    Another issue. With a tag such as [visual-studio], there's 2 additional levels of tags: [visual-studio-2005] and [visual-studio-2005-expres] (trailing 's' is not a typo -- tag length limit is in play), so if I have to tag a question with VS2005 Express and I should tag with all 3, I've burned up 3 of the 5 allowed tags just for the environment I'm using, which doesn't seem right. In fairness, these instances are probably rare, but certainly 2 out 5 tags can be significant sometimes, too.

As far as I know, if I have some tags in a question, system will choose the tag which has more questions as main tag (shows in title of page)  But, sometimes this is not correct. For example, I have a question about PhoneGap which applies to both android and iOS. So my question is about PhoneGap, not Android. but system chooses Android as main tag...  Is there any way to manually choose the main tag of a question? if not, Isn't it better to have a feature like this?

How can I find the top users for a specific tag? For example, Java on Stack Overflow. I want to filter the "Users" tab by Java the tag.

Right now, the "Tags" page supports listing the tags either in the most popular order or in alphabetical order. I think it will be interesting to see not only what tags are the most popular on questions but also what tags are the most popular for users, so it will be nice if we could get another tab that will sort the tags by the "most followed" order (the number of users who have that tag as an favorite tag).  I think that this order also gives a better sense of how many experts we have on topic X, as opposed to how many questions we have on topic X. That's something I would very much like to see.

Selecting the tags for this question is kind of annoying in the iOS app because the tag search is case-sensitive and my iPhone keeps "correcting" ios when I type on the dash.  The site tag search seems to be case insensitive, so I'd expect the app to behave the same.   the text entry field should be programmed to not be sentence case even if caps are entered intentionally, the internal search should be case insensitive.      This fix is also needed on the tags search on the main site feed browsing pane.

I was trying to do a search for new questions using the advanced search tags such as is:question and intags:mine. This normally works well, but today it is not showing any questions newer than 2nd June. For example, try this link which should show all questions in my tags, ordered by newest first:  http://stackoverflow.com/search?tab=newest&amp;q=intags%3amine   Has some back-end script stopped running perhaps?  Edit:  Search appears to be out-of-date for all search type (not just advanced search) and across all SE sites.  Edit: after working fine for a while, the bug is back in July 30th 2014:
