Filtering Tags

[matthew6288 1]

Currently, when you add a tag to a note, as you start typing, the system filters the matching tags only by the start of the tag name.  It would be SUPER helpful if the filter picked up any tags with matching terms.  I.e., if you have tags for "meeting notes" and "call notes", if you start to type "notes" into the add a tag bar, the system will find neither "meeting notes" nor "call notes" because those tags don't start with "notes".  Would be very helpful if the system filtered all tags with the term "notes" in them so you could select tags that are potentially nested or don't start with the exact search term.

I'm happy with that as an option but I actually prefer the current behaviour because I don't want lots of extraneous notes showing up. To use your examples my tags would be structured notes-meeting and notes-call so that all my notes tags are together. The other alternative would be to use the edit tags menu (alt-ctrl-T) which does give you a "proper" search rather than a "starting with" style search.
