How does one search the list of tags in order to see which tags to follow?

Question

It is hard enough to find the list of tags. One should be able to search the tag list right from the user's profile. And you wonder why tags proliferate?

Hi Christopher. Welcome to G2G!

On any profile (subject to privacy), just above the birth information, the name of the profile subject is given with the surname underlined, for example on your own profile:

Christopher S. Lyttle

If you click on that surname, you will be taken to a genealogy page, which has title with the tag you can follow in it, for example

LYTTLE Genealogy

If I have misunderstood your question and that doesn't do what you want, please come back to G2G and comment.

I currently have 10 tags. None of them are surnames. I'm interested in issues surrounding DNA testing. There are many tags that relate to this topic (and most of them have "dna" somewhere in the text of the tag), but I see no way to discover them without manually going through 200 pages of tags. If I'm going through an old census, I don't mind this sort of work, but it should not be necessary for this.

Ok, sorry, I see what you mean.

This page includes tags starting with "DNA", but not ones with it embedded in the middle.

Thank you Jim! I think this is becoming less a "How do I..." question and more of a functionality suggestion. I am new to WikiTree and the questions in my mind are whether it enables what I want to do.

It's a good suggestion, Christopher! To draw attention to it, you could edit your original question with the small edit link, and add the tag
