And, of course, it also helps if you regularly read meta - so that you recall that there was a discussion about specific issue. (But it's possible that you might search a bit to find it.)
Just as one example where tags on meta help - one issue that appears quite often on meta is that people ask about the problem that they cannot edit their comment after a MathJax error.
It's natural to expect that the posts about this might be tagged mathjax+comment, so that's quite a good way to find some of the past discussions.
Of course, in order to use tags in searches, it is important that posts are appropriately tagged.
