Why don't all the tags show in the "show all topics" tag cloud?

Asked by YARNLADY (46587points) April 16th, 2009

I look for knitting, crafts, and various other tags, and they aren’t there, yet I see them on some of the questions I manage to come across.

I suspect that there is a threshold level for topics to only appear if they have been used as tags X many times. Or actually, it is more likely that only the top X number of topics will show based on volume. You can always search for the topic the related ones that way.

I’ve been using the Google custom search box in the upper right of the screen and it takes me to questions using a particular topic on the fluther forum. At first I didn’t use it because I thought it was like regular Google search.

@hungryhungryhortence That’s what I’ve been using too, which is how I found out the tags don’t show up.
