This issue has two parts.
First: the tag parsing is too aggressive with its boundary characters. #web_app
and #web/viral
both get parsed as the #web
tag, which doesn’t feel reasonable – why not keep reading until you find whitespace, and maybe a couple other explicit special characters if necessary?
Second: the tag search is pretty useless right now if you have a lot of tags – clicking on a #web
tag will bring up files tagged with #webapp
, #web_app
, etc.

Bonus request: since searching takes a while, and tags are already cached, it’s pretty disappointing/frustrating that doing a tag search requires a full text search of every page instead of a constant-time filtering based on the previously-parsed tags.
