Well that is what some of us have in mind. The user enters a search
expression, and the search application somehow proposes some tags the
user can select to refine the search (based on the search expression
entered).

I think we had this discussion a while back, though I don't know exactly
where it went. One problem I ca remember of is, that tags are no values.
And searches like: Maturity:: > Beta are not supported and conceptually
very difficult to be implemented.
