Only today I noticed that (by mistake) I wrote "blacklisted" instead of "deprecated" in the title of the question on meta: What to do with the synonyms for the deprecated tags?

Recently, the following tag synonyms were created by a MathOveflow moderator: abstract-algebra $\to$ ra.rings-and-algebras, geometry $\to$ mg.metric-geometry and discrete-mathematics $\to$ co.combinatorics. You can see the new synonyms in the list of tag synonyms (Wayback Machine). The three tags...

As I have said that one can add various further criteria to the query, perhaps I could add at least some simple examples.
As mentioned above, SEDE query can return questions with a specific tag, and here is the same ordered by last activity.
I can search for questions in a given tag which contain a specific word or phrase. The same ordered by last activity.
I can search for questions with some combination of tags, for example, abstract-algebra and gr.group-theory.
