Limit of del.icio.us tags
I finally decided to give del.icio.us a try. Maybe it is just because this is my first day using it, but I have a few beefs already. First, take a look at my del.icio.us page. I started building a small set of tags to catalog the web pages I'm adding. All well and good so far. I can click on a tag to see what pages I've tagged with a particular term; still so far so good. But what if, being the librarian that I am, I want to see pages that I've tagged with two tags, say USABILITY and WEB_DESIGN (a good old boolean search). As far as I can tell, I can't do it. If anyone knows how to do this, please leave me a comment here.
One more complaint: tags must be a single word. If I want to make a tag that consists of two or more words, I have to resort to awkward typographical solutions: digital reference becomes digital_reference.
I know, it's free. You get what you pay for.

You can combine tags with a plus sign, like this:

Thanks! That worked. Now I only wish the search interface allowed you to do boolean searches (maybe you'd just click the tags you want to AND together).
