On another issue, if you could make it work with the site search I would an even happier customer.....just my two cents!
There is actually two ways to do this.
1) Use the Tag Search Results loop, which can be used to display a seperate set of entries with Tags that match the keyword searched for. This is limited as it relies on native EE search results to exist to generate the page. For example, if you have 5 entries that are Tagged “pants”, but no entries at all have the word “pants” in them (title or body, etc), and if someone searches for “pants”, then the native EE Search results will not populate.
2) The second method is using an extension we currently are not yet selling publicly… Preparse. What this extension does it parses things during the Updating/Posting of an entry. So for example, what you can do is set up a template with the Tag:Tags loop in it, then, every time you create/edit an entry (including using the Tag Tab feature like you normally would), the entry updates while the Preparse extension parses the Tag:Tags loop, generating a list of your Tags into a custom field. That custom field would then be searchable
