[Koha] tagging in koha

[G. Laws]

When you have moderation turned on a staff person has to review and
approve/reject the tags, so that's one place they are visible from the
staff interface.

That's also one of the features we want to improve. Right now there is
no mechanism for editing the tags that someone posts. We want to have
them editable to remove, as one example, profanity from an otherwise
acceptable tag string, or to correct good, but <gregariously>
misspelled, tags.

If you go to the OPAC tag cloud, of course, you can see the tags listed
and select a tag to see what it's been applied to, but that's not really
like a search term.
