Search, Edit, Delete, TAGS in the adminCP tagging system

[kether1]

I have lots of 'crap' tags that I need to delete or combine but in the adminCP, there is not anyway to actually search for them. I can sort by last added or alphabetically, but that means going through hundreds of pages to find the tags I want to edit, combine, or delete.

Seems like there could be a modification that would do the following:

1. search tags
2. show how many times a tag is used
3. link the tags to the threads in a new window
4. allow for deletion or editing/ combining similar tags (For example: 'radio' is a correct tag, but my users have entered 'raido' and 'rdaio' and 'radioo' (all typos). Who knows how many others are like this.

Is this something that can be done?

Thanks,
Kether

I guess no one else has trouble with too many useless tags? Is there something I am missing ( a way to manage the tags in vbulletin that I haven't found)??

There was a mod for vb3 that did this. You may want to look it up and see if it works in vb4.

Thanks Lynn. It appears to not work for VB4 and I wouldn't know what to do to upgrade it to make it work.

I am still looking for a way to :
1. search tags
2. show how many times a tag is used
3. link the tags to the threads in a new window
4. allow for deletion or editing/ combining similar tags (For example: 'radio' is a correct tag, but my users have entered 'raido' and 'rdaio' and 'radioo' (all typos). Who knows how many others are like this.

Any coder out there know how to do this? Thanks!

yeah, the default tagging management tools available are terrible. I really wish someone would release an update to that hack or make a new system all together.

IT has been awhile since I posted this question. Anyone have suggestions or a way to do this?
Thanks,

Just wanted to bump this as I really would like more control over the sloppy tags on my site.
Thanks for looking.
