Seems like that could be the best option, Greg. Though generally I equate tags with keywords and would think they should be searchable one in the same. <div><br></div><div>Is the only way to see tags when you're logged in as a patron, and looking at your own list?</div>

Maybe a tag should be a keyword search option in advanced search?<br>

We are considering, to be a bit more specific, funding

<div>I'm also finding that although you can tag an item, you
still can't search for that tag and get any results. Seems
silly to me that tagging would be worth anything in Koha at
all if that's the case. Maybe I'm just not understanding the
feature, but I would think that implementing tags *should* be
there to make searching more robust.</div>

<div>Has anyone had much luck with the LibraryThing for
Libraries function? My institution is thinking about getting
it to fix this tagging issue. If anyone is currently using it,
I'd be curious to know whether or not it allows you to find
the tags in a catalog search. <br>

<br>
However, you clearly have a separate problem with
tagging from the OPAC that needs to be resolved. You
have to enable tagging in the staff interface. In the
OPAC configuration there are several settings, like
tagsenabled and tagsmoderated, etc. Check those.<br>
<br>
Of interest, however, I now see that the text for
tagsenabled says it enables both patrons and staff to
tag, so I don't know what's with that.<br>

<div>Hey all,

</div>
<div>How does Tagging work in Koha? Can it be done
through the administrative end? I can't find a
section for it, other than from the patron side.
When I try to add tags to certain books as a
patron, they do not save and the item does not
appear when a search is done for that tag after.<br clear="all">
