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

Thu Jan 22 00:34:29 UTC 2015

OK! I got it to work. So, my question now is: you wrote previously that the
feature I asked for - the ability to filter search results based on input
parameters - that is one of the top requested feature? Is there a github
issue id for it? I will be happy to take this conversation to that issue.

Thanks VERY MUCH for your quick response today.
