[Bug] In "view all questions for a tag" screen, search field searches other tags

When I go to a "tag" in answers.sap.com and view questions for that tag, the search field in that tag screen erroneously searches for questions outside the current tag.

For example, in answers.sap.com, when I go to the tag "SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise" ( https://answers.sap.com/tags/67837800100800005166 ) it displays a set of questions for the tag "SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise"

But in that screen, if I enter "lotus cache" in the search field (as an example), it displays entries like:

which are associated with the unrelated tag "PORTAL Knowledge Management and Collaboration"

Please fix the "display all questions for this tag" screen to have a search field which searches the current tag.

Thanks
Ben

Assuming the answer is "not possible", isn't SAP embarrassed to show a product with such a glaring deficiency? It sets the tone for what kind of company it is.

To my mind it's a minor bug, compared to some other...

And in some future it will be corrected, because practically all old questions were moved to some tag.

Are you saying SAP lots of bugs worse than this? Wow, that doesn't say much for SAP.

Re: practically all old questions were moved to some tag.

Wow, so there's a second layer of bad implementation where I can't search for old questions for a tag?

Apparently, the world disagrees (my post about this on reddit.com/r/SAP):

That's great. Much more usable.

One small suggestion though, when I go to "SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise" questions at:

https://answers.sap.com/tags/67837800100800005166

the search field is titled "Search the SAP community". It would be more correct to say something like "Search the current subject area (tag)"

Looking at

https://answers.sap.com/questions/666120/how-to-search-within-a-tag-in-sap-community.html

it looks like the answer is, "not possible". Am I reading that correctly?

Search within these 3rd party tools is a high priority for us this year and this is being addressed we are also working with the software provider on a system upgrade for this year as well to hopefully bring even more improvements.
