What happens if the only post in a very specific tag on cohost is a post by a private page... Does the tag still get suggested when you go to type a tag on a new post?

If you rebug something with a tag, the tag will appear in auto-fill, but search only seems to surface posts that aren't rebugs

for example, try searching the tag # a new and unique tag for this post! that I just made in this rebug reply and it won't show posts. but it will be a completion when typing out tags

(the exception is searching your user page-- you can find tags you've made in replies when searching by user either by clicking from their profile, or by modifying the url)

edit: i learned this was intentional in the comments and i can understand why now:

@bark: this is a feature added a while ago to stop rebugs from adding things like the cohost global feed to someone's post by rebugging it and blowing it up further than the op wanted

O neat I legitimately was just curious and now we learned

fwiw tags in rebugs do show up if you search for it on someone's page, so they do serve a purpose in the sense of organizing your own posts

in reply to @catball's post:

rebug tags show up when searching the rebugger's posts (like if we search for catball/tagged/rebug we get a lot of stuff) but won't show up in rapboy creamium/tagged/rebug unless the original post had that tag also
