Search for tags

1. Yes its very possible, you just need to create your own search form and processing function
   form:

   <form name="tag-search" method="POST" action="">
     <input type="text" vlaue="" name="tag-q" id="tag-q">
     <input type="submit" name="tag-submit" id="tag-submit" value="Search Tags">
   </form>
   

   processing:

   <?php
   if (isset($_POST['tag-submit']) && $_POST['tag-submit'] == "Search Tags" && isset($_POST['tag-q']) && $_POST['tag-q'] != ""){
   
       // @todo Sanity check and cleanup $_POST['tag-q'] here.
   
       $args = array('name__like' => $_POST['tag-q']);
       $tags = get_tags($args);
       $html = '<div class="post_tags_search_r">';
       foreach ($tags as $tag){
           $tag_link = get_tag_link($tag->term_id);
   
           $html .= "<a href='{$tag_link}' title='{$tag->name} Tag' class='{$tag->slug}'>";
           $html .= "{$tag->name}</a>";
       }
       $html .= '</div>';
       echo $html;
   }
   ?>
   

   No this is something i have used in the past, the only downside to this is that name__like is case-insensitive so you might want to add the strtolower version to the name__like.
