This is an interesting idea. From your examples, it seems that you are discussing a "contains" search, and not a "starts with" search. It isn't clear if the search is partial. For example, do "Science" and "Fiction" both match "Science Fiction"? I don't want to get into regular expressions, but it might be OK to use beginning and end anchors ("^" and "$").

If implemented, it would work on all categories, not just tags. That would make it both faster and easier to build, because it could be done in the DB. This is important, because otherwise performance would suffer greatly.

One problem: real estate. I am not sure where one would put the box. Perhaps I could make the current search area do double duty. Needs thought.
