The tracker-needle app automatically uses tags as part of the search. 
However, it doesn't tell you that we found the hits from tags or other 
means - which might be what you're referring to here.

If you search for "Austria" as a tag you should find files with that tag 
listed under their categories. To know if the resource itself is tagged 
with "Austria", click on the icon in the toolbar second from the right 
(for my theme it's a heart), it lists tags. The tag "Austria" should be 
checked when you click on a hit in the search results that matches.

I see. AFAIK, that shouldn't make much difference.
