Lightbulb [Suggestion] Downloads: Featured, Tags, and Search (Implemented!)

Okay. So...

I am a very anal-retentive person. That said, I took some time today and marked every single Featured Download from February 2009 all the way back to October 2006 when the Featured Download of the Month thing started with a "featured" tag. Mind, I goofed on a couple of them and forgot to put a comma in a couple of the tags, making them tagged oddly ("featuredmultipart"? "featuredobsolete"?), but otherwise, all Featured Downloads are now labeled as "featured". This, of course, brings me to my next topic...

The current Search function for Jazz2Online's Downloads section is incapable of searching file tags. I feel there should be some way, OTHER than clicking on a tag, to find other files marked with that tag. Adding tags into the Search function would be the most logical way to go, but feel free to get more creative should the urge arise.
Edit: As of March 4th, this idea has been implemented into the Seach function.

And thus, I wander back into the mists of the Internet once more. Take care and thanks for reading!

If it goes back further than that, I apologize and will take a few moments to skim over the remaining 29 pages I didn't check, starting from 31 and going back in time.

...ah. There's another one here by FireSworD on Page 34... Thank you for telling me, Cooba. *gets busy*

Edit: All done! Unless there were several Featured Download entries labelled with unconventional news tags ("Better late than never..." is one I found), I should have labelled everything excluding Cooba's "Random Race Levels", which he labelled himself after pointing out my job wasn't quite finished. XD

Nice job!

That's the only way of searching tags for now I guess.
Well, if a search box with this code is simply added to the Search machine, it'd be fixed, right? Good thinking.

I added the ability to search tags. Also, you can now make searches where only some terms appear, and the search will now correctly indicate the number of results.
