Tag Search As You Type Broken

Bug graveyard
1

Steps to reproduce

Go to search for a tag by using Magnifying Glass>“tag:” and start to type the tag you’re looking for.

Expected result

When I’ve just entered “tag:” I get a nice drop down list of tags I have and I would expect that once I start typing the first letters of a tag that the dropdown list would get whittled down to match whatever I’m typing – in the same way that it does when you go to create a tag in a document using the “#” syntax.

Actual result

When I’ve just entered “tag:” I get a nice drop down list of tags I have, but as soon as I start typing that nice drop down list of results goes away and I don’t see any search results at all until I’ve typed a 100% match.

If you search the forum for “tag search”, what do you find?
