[Photon] Q: can photon search on tags? Can I add it?

[Sachin Dole]

That is very nice of you not only to reply but also to add reg_name to
index.

I have another q for you, please: how can I use photon to search with a
filter on tags? For example, I know that my app is only interested in
nodes, ways and relations that have the tag with key "tourism" or a
combination of a few different tags. In this case, I would like to
completely filter out Hawaii county from results, while, still showing
Hawaii state and Hawaii airport and various beaches in Hawaii state.

Once again, I would love to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty if
that's what it will need.

Thank you once again.
