Obviously it requires work but for a long term vision, I agree keyword searches made in platform would be helpful for content/author discovery and other related tasks like trying to figure out something about the platform like for troubleshooting or "how to" , I'm no dev and sometimes run into roadblocks and I just end up ignoring the problem because it's easier than looking for how to get the desired outcome. I have been wanting this aspect on the platform since day 1. Obviously, easily finding answers does help with usability of the product and may help in making the platform more user friendly which should be a long term goal anyway. It's ok once you learn the ropes, but for a new user this place looks complicated and could translate into why on-boarding and retention may less than desirable at the moment. Hopefully you consider @bescouted 's suggestion in the future.

There is some work being done on keyword searching by good-karma: https://hive.blog/hive/@good-karma/open-search-engine-development-and-maintenance
But I think there's many things that can be done to improve the frontends, once we have more devs available to work on them.
That's awesome! Thanks for letting me know. Cheers!
That is a bit different solution. Or i might lack knowledge how search actually works. As far as good-karma considered his solution is indexing all the content and providing results based on the content body itself. Which might be useful if it is working really well and sophisticated, and if it is seamlessly integrated into front end products. Even then ability to add keywords or tags would be usefull, they could even be entered into the same field as it is now on Hive.
@blocktrades How many tags are now taken into consideration 5 main and 8 total?
