Is your proposal related to a problem?

It's not really a problem but as titles of posts that fit your needs sometimes don't have keywords that you use you'll end up missing a lot of posts that could be useful to you.

Describe the solution you'd like.

When creating a new post, you'll have an option to also give (possibly limited amount?) tags
When searching for a post you put it in keywords or a sentence with the keyboards and it will find posts using both title and tags

A possible issue could be that people use the wrong tags, maybe give users the ability to downvote tags or let moderators deal with it?

Describe alternatives you've considered.

I thought about flairs like in Reddit but how good they work strongly depends on how specific moderators/creators make them, from my experience on Reddit it's either too broad or non existent

Giving mods the ability to edit posts accomplishes the same. They can just add the tag like this [Tag] in the title, or keywords like keywords: k1, k2, k3 in the body.

I'm not sure about tags, mainly because of the annoying and complicated mess of community owners having to maintain systems of them.

Also, the main usefulness of tags, is being able to list / filter on them, which already works with searching. Lets say a music community requires a [Genre] tag, so if you wanted to list all the rock posts, you could just this: https://dev.lemmy.ml/search/q/[rock]/type/all/sort/topall/page/1.
