Do we need the “search” tag?

The tag search has no definition.

We have other tags text-search and search-engine.

Do we really need search?

if so, what is its definition?

I'm not sure if text-search and search-engine are any better, and anyway they don't encompass all search-related topics. Why would we get rid of search? What tags would we create instead? – Gilles Sep 4 '15 at 12:39
Then can we define when the tag "search" should be used? – Mawg Sep 4 '15 at 13:16

I think search might need a tag-wiki. text-search is intuitive, but search might even erraneously be used as "I'm looking for a software that …" :) Currently it seems most of its questions are about file-search. Btw: I'm having my doubts about the search-engine tag: there are several questions looking for "something like Google" (my simplification), which IMHO is outside of our scope. I keep my fingers out of those as I never got the difference what kind of "service" is on-topic here :) – Izzy♦ Sep 4 '15 at 22:25
