Tags are new, and are a relatively interesting concept.
If you scroll down to the bottom of each thread, you'll notice "Tags". These are terms that are related to the thread that (depending on your level of Meisterness) you can edit/add/delete.
These create what's called a tag "cloud"; you click the hyperlinked text and it will list related threads. These are not generated by a search engine spider, but by you - the member.
Fully registered members can add tags only to their own threads. Senior and meister members can add tags to
any thread. In other words, you become master of your own thread searches
Example - you're a "meister member" and you come across a thread about video poker that you find stupendiously awesome. Scroll down and tag it "video poker". And let's say you come across other threads that might relate to this. You can tag them the same way. Then if you ever want to find them - just go to the tag cloud
If you were only to simply use the
search function for "video poker"...good luck
