Tag linguistics

It is not a problem to use different cases of the same word, such as politics and political because they share the same word stem (in this case, polit).

When comparing tags we also find matches for tags that sound alike. This means fiber and viper may match if you are searching for diaper.

Using tags becomes more complicated when tagging in multi-lingual environments. The tags car and voiture will not be correlated.
