FWIW, I assumed that TWood was trying to change the default results per page for all tags searches, and not just for a specific search.
Yes.
I was hoping that changing the code in tags.php at line 160 so that any search on tags by anybody will return a set number per page. Setting the number of results for searches in the admin CP has no affect on tag searches because that search uses search.php but a tag search uses tags.php to initiate the tag search.
Lynne - I'm not appending any code to a search, I want to change the search code for all tag searches, and I thought this place in tags.php at line 160 looked like the place to do it.
