1.Build search tag for Joomla1.6.x and Joomla1.7.x
This plugin is very simple end does the job excellent. I used it for about 1 year on some joomla 1.5 websites and it really improved the number of links in the search engines. It is based on the default search component so ArtioSEF and other sef components are making tags really look nice.
Thank you for updating to 1.7 your wonderfull plugin

This is very nice plugin, but it's a bit outdated. Since I want to keep using it and there's no hope that original author will provide an update, I've made some changes myself. If you need SearchTag for your Joomla 1.6 site, you may download it here: http://www.provitiligo.com/files/extensions/searchtag_J16.zip
Actually, there was literally a couple things to change, so it should work for everyone.

Very helpful plugin.
To almamun:
There are some ways to display tags on frontpage, one of them is:
In SearchTag.php there is a code:
if ((JRequest :: getVar('view')) == 'article'){
Modify it to this:
$view=JRequest :: getCmd('view');
$layout=JRequest :: getCmd('layout');
if ( ( $view == 'article') || ( ($view=='frontpage') || ($layout=='blog') ) ){
:)

This is Great! it does works and install is easy. It also looks good in articles.
BUT: It will be nice to put a limit to the number of tags, or to display in rows, because when showing it goes in one row and breaks the layout bad.
will be waiting for updates!

This is the first extension in the Tags and Clouds that actually works with Joomfish. Doesn't require extra work since it uses the already existing meta keywords. Keeps the cyrillics in the search url intact as well.
It would be great to have module that would display all these tags as well, once again Joomfish compatible.
Thank you for good work.

Oh Gods of Joomla, 3DP highnesses! If you would make this addon a SEF compatible (to make links like site.com/tags/nameofthespecifictag) than do a search plugin to search for metatag (I am sure it is not impossible) than basically we would get a full featured tag system for Joomla. Wonder why not among the core features. A great plugin! But for consistent work, it needs a metatag search.

Hi, In fact I have developed a component that can show tag result as xxx.com/tag/xxxx.html. Here is a example.

However, I am not very satisfied with it.
I don't add metatag search plugin, just because the field meta_keywords in mysql is text type. It seems that mysql doesn't support text field ‘like’ query.
I will develop a full featured tag system for joomla. So this is just a temp solution.
