The latest version is a big step forward. Thanks.

I may reorganize my tag hierarchy to remove a level so that CC works better with my library. But I will still have 1 or 2 more levels than CC supports.

I was thinking there might be another feature CC could add that would bring it very close to full support of hierarchical tags.

The idea is to extend the existing search feature so we have a second "tag filter" box just below the existing search box.

Any text entered into the tag filter would be compared against tags and only those books that match would be displayed.

For example, consider books with tags:

Non-Fiction.Biography
Non-Fiction.Food.Cookbook
Non-Fiction.Food.Cookbook.Baking
Non-Fiction.Food.Cookbook.Baking.Bread
Non-Fiction.Food.Cookbook.Baking.Pastry
Non-Fiction.Food.Cookbook.Ethnic
Non-Fiction.Food.Cookbook.Ethnic.Italian
Non-Fiction.Food.Cookbook.Ethnic.Japanese
Non-Fiction.Food.Preservation
Non-Fiction.Food.Preservation.Canning
Non-Fiction.Food.Preservation.Dehydration
Non-Fiction.Food.Preservation.Fermentation
Non-Fiction.History
Non-Fiction.Science
Non-Fiction.Science.Biology
Non-Fiction.Science.Physics

Entering the tag filter ...
"Non-Fiction.Food" would display all food books.
"Non-Fiction.Food.Cookbook" would display all cookbooks.
"Non-Fiction.Food.Cookbook.Baking" would display all baking books.
"Non-Fiction.Science" would display all science books.

We could then use the tag browser to navigate the filtered subset of books.

The existing search would apply another level of filter. So for example, tag filter "Non-Fiction.Food" with search "vegetarian" would display only food books with "vegetarian" in the title.
