A: Questions that definitely do not have the answer to my question

Nick CraverWe've made some changes to how the search works here due to performance reasons...but it turns out they greatly increased relevancy as well, specifically due to quoted strings being inadvertently excluded before. There are other reasons it's better (and faster) due to the filter and boosting chan...

Does that mean tags are considered? I see an Obj-C question at the bottom, surely that shouldn't come up when you search for a javascript Q&A? — jpp Jan 5 at 14:30
They are considered and weighted, but they are not required to match. There are a lot of similar tags or people forgetting to tag a thing, and when entering a title there may be (and often are) no tags yet. When reasoning about a tag match - if we required them to match, we'd be removing the relevant results most of the time. So it's just a strong suggestion that they match. — Nick Craver ♦ Jan 5 at 14:32
