Its the sort of thing one wants to make a decision about at the time the multi-tag search feature is being used. Wouldn't be so bad if one could see the current setting, but as it is one has to look behind Alter Tag Browser, and then behind Match Type, then remember than 'all' will give one an 'and' and that 'any' will give one an 'or', and then the phone rings...
