I searched at https://stackoverflow.com/tags for windows forms
and the search for tags did not return the desired tag winforms
. There is even a tag synonym called windows.forms
I'm surprised this search isn't working. To me it suggests that it is not searching the synonyms nor is it searching the full text of the tag description, which is:
WinForms is the informal name given to Windows Forms, a GUI class library in the Microsoft .NET Framework and Mono. Questions in this tag should also be tagged with the target framework ([.net] or [mono]) and should ordinarily be tagged with a programming language tag.
Note that "Windows Forms" appears literally within the text. Also the relevancy of the term "Windows Forms" to the tag "winforms" is inarguable, and could be derived from the text of questions that bear the tag.
I think this is a shortcoming of the tag search feature, and possibly a bug.
The actual results are:
- windows-forms-designer
- windowsformshost
- windowsformsintegration
