this makes using tags finally usefull

GREAT mod!!! Congrats!

Great Tools .. Thanks

This would be great if upgraded for vb4...

This mod is BRILLIANT! Can't believe it's buried so deep down.

I've written my own plugin that forces a tag search whenever any search term under 3 characters is present, and in conjunction with that, this works like a charm!

With just my plugin, searches like this:
"camera xy review"
would redirect just to the tag "xy".
Now, in conjunction with this mod, the same search will provide highly relevant results.

FYI there is a easily-fixable but potentially-exploitable bug in this mod:
1. tags are not escaped, so a tag like "mike's" will give you a DB error
2. regex characters in tags will cause database errors, i.e. if you search for: [tag]

To address this, I used the following addition to the code:

$qtag = str_replace(array(']','[','\\','^','$',',','|','?','*','+','(',')','\''),a rray('\\]','\[','\\\\','\\^','\\$','\\,','\\|','\\?','\\*','\\+' ,'\\(','\\)','\\\''),$qtag);

You can also use $vbulletin->db->escape_string() to fix issue #1, but that doesn't cover the regex characters.
