[Suggestion] Filter popular tags by evaluation of the edit line

Wolf P.

As I discovered right now the wished behavior is already implemented in the "tag search":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/tags the ordering there is already by popularity.

Isn't it only one small step to make the update-on-edit search available to the tagging itself?

As long as it highlights part of the tag to make it clear that matching is happening.

Even with multiple matches (like "e" in "developer")? ...could worsen the readability.

Wolf P. How did you stumble upon this page?

Sometimes I want to search for a tag that I made earlier but I can't find any tag search, only google search.
So what I do is find a tag nearby (in forum or something), click it and then change the tag in the URL.

I think that right now tag search but be more useful really. Especially if you know the common ones.

xsacha, you can search for tags "here":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/tags

I realise that now, only because you linked to it before.
But should I bookmark that page or something? Is there no way to get to it from devnet itself? I usually get to everything by clicking on links rather than bookmarks. Bookmarks are especially difficult on my mobile phone.

How will other people find this? It needs to be easier to find than the Google Search which is on every page. IMO.

xsacha, you can find link to it at main page (near tags list named "see all") or at page with searching by tag (link "Looking for other tags?").

Aha! I figured it was just a list of the tags used without search mechanism. Thanks!

I think this should be made more visible. Perhaps on every page. I guess it is a plan for future as tags mature but I'd argue they have matured now!

I added a suggestion to the bugtracker: "QTWEBSITE-122":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTWEBSITE-122

You are right, we will place a link to the tag page in the tag tab and in other locations - now that it has indeed matured to a very usable level. :)
