thanks, indexes indeed may provide most what's expected from tags. At a way lower cost. Wicked. (In my microblog engine I go lengths to automatically maintain redundant entries in directories e.g. https://l.mro.name/o/t/CGI/ https://l.mro.name/o/t/CGI/. But a microblog is a different story)

> thanks, indexes indeed may provide most what's expected from tags. At a way lower cost. Wicked. Sorry, I'm a bit lost. Aren't they parts of the same thing? When you put tags on pages you also need an index of all the pages with that tag?

  > parts of the same thing yes, from opposite angles. Adding a page to an index may be more obvious than adding a keyword to a page. Both UX-wise and technical.
