Jun 13 at 15:06 comment added Martin Related: Is there a way (e.g. with SEDE) to find questions with an existing tag that's been synonymized (but not merged) into another tag?

Jun 11, 2012 at 1:02 comment added gung - Reinstate Monica @whuber, this doesn't seem to be getting much attention. Should we migrate it up to the big meta?
Jun 7, 2012 at 21:53 comment added gung - Reinstate Monica @whuber, I wouldn't want to spend my time retagging them all either. I've changed the question, but appended the original below it; I can delete the old question entirely if you think that's best.
Jun 7, 2012 at 21:23 comment added whuber That sounds like search + synonyms is not working as it should, Gung. I don't like the idea of manually retagging ten thousand questions to cope with search limitations. Maybe you should recast this question to focus on that behavior (and perhaps tag it with bug).
Jun 7, 2012 at 21:05 comment added gung - Reinstate Monica Thus, the question is, should I, eg, retag that question as logistic so that it would become more easily findable?
Jun 7, 2012 at 21:04 comment added gung - Reinstate Monica @whuber, maybe I'm missing something here (it wouldn't be the first time). But consider the following: here is one of my (evidently 8) answers to questions tagged logistic-regression; however, if you search on the LR tag on my profile you get this. Notice that that question is not listed in the search output. (As a result of these facts, it took me a long time to find an example for you.)
Jun 7, 2012 at 19:49 comment added whuber That's the entire point, gung: there are few or no questions with the "tree" tag. But because tree is a synonym of cart, a search for "[tree]" turns up all the questions tagged "cart". That makes tree easier to find, IMHO.
Jun 7, 2012 at 19:45 comment added gung - Reinstate Monica @whuber, are you getting a different result than I am? I can't find the question tagged tree.
Jun 7, 2012 at 19:36 comment added whuber Have you actually tested your assumption about "defunct" tags becoming "harder to find"? E.g., tree (one occurrence) has been replaced by cart (69 occurrences) as a synonym. Guess what happens when you search on the tree tag? :-)
