Yes but only if we will have just tag filtering.
I was the first to propose a sort of tag cloud and I fell in love with
it but later I realized that tag filtering is just one of the many
filtering options that we should implement: date, location, equipment,
buddy, etc...
Hence I began to think to a more "holistic" approach in which tag
filtering is one of the several search I need.

for the various searches and not having a tag cloud, a text input and
combo boxes for different task/search.
Tomaz told that the search code is pretty much independent from the UI
implementation.

Regarding the OR/AND between tags I agree that could be useful having
both options but I guess we all are accustomed to AND by default. When
we search via google we expect having only results with all input
words/keys (and not like the ancient Altavista model). Same with usual
web tag clouds. So when selecting "drift" and "reef" I would like
seeing only dives with both tags. Otherwise the more tags I select the
more dives I find.
